Bioptigen, a spinoff company co-founded by Duke biomedical engineer Joseph Izatt, has won the Frost & Sullivan 2007 North American Optical Coherence Tomography Excellence in Research Award. Bioptigen was singled out for its work in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for ophthalmology.
"This recognition is validation of our vision for the current and future potential of SD-OCT,” said Izatt, professor of biomedical engineering and opthamology, and Chief Technology Officer at Bioptigen. “Our emphasis looking forward is ...
Advanced Liquid Logic, which is developing miniscule fluidic technology that can turn silicon chips into labs, is consulting firm Frost & Sullivan’s choice for its 2007 Entrepreneurial Company of the Year award.
The rising startup company, founded by former Duke engineering graduate students Michael Pollack and Vamsee Pamula, is a spin-out from Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering. The microfluidic technology originated in the laboratoy of the Pratt School's Richard Fair, a professor of electrical and ...

Columbia, MD – Early results from a Phase I clinical study of ThermoDox for treating patients with recurrent breast cancer on the chest wall revealed that after only two cycles of a low-dose, six-cycle regimen, six patients showed early signs of clinically meaningful activity, according to a release issued by Celsion Corporation. One patient had a complete response in the treated area, two patients had a ...
Dean Kristina M. Johnson and Duke electrical and computer engineering doctoral graduate Sangrok Lee founded MBright, a next-generation digital display technology company after winning $50,000 in startup funding from the Duke Startup Challenge in 2004. MBright utilizes liquid crystal on silicon microdisplays including VLSI design.

Photonics and ultrasound engineering researchers from Duke's Pratt School of Engineering and George Washington University created a spinoff company in 2003 to market a novel optical scanner miniaturized enough to be inserted into the body, where its light beams could someday detect abnormalities hidden in the walls of the colon, bladder or esophagus. The experimental device is called an "electrostatic micromachine scanning mirror for optical coherence tomography." Memscept founders include Jason Zara, an assistant professor ...
Illuminus is a Duke spinoff company developing technology to measure the removal of breast tumors during breast conserving surgery. An estimated 125,000 women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer receive breast conserving surgery each year. The project manager, Dr. Nimmi Ramanujam, an internationally recognized researcher in biomedical engineering, will provide the technical direction for the venture. She is a tenured faculty member at Duke University. She was the winner of the MIT Technology Review TR100 ...
Advanced Liquid Logic develops products that leverage the Company's unique droplet-based liquid handling technology for high quality, reliable, rapid, and cost effective results in a diverse range of diagnostic and other applications. Digital microfluidics is a lab-on-a-chip approach based on direct, programmable micromanipulation of small volume droplets using electrical fields. Digital microfluidics enables complex, multi-step liquid handling protocols to be flexibly, scalably, and cost effectively implemented. Invented at Duke University.
