NON-INVASIVE DIAGNOSTICS

The hyperspectral imaging to the membrane blood cells, as tool to discriminate between physiological and pathological conditions (inflammation, dysmetabolism, oncologic diseases and neurologic diseases). In particular, it will be applied to analyze the phospholipid pattern starting from a single whole blood drop.

PORTABILITY and ACCESSIBILITY

The portable device will be located at the assistant care patient point. It will provide home care solutions. Diagnostic application will be, mostly, focused on those pathologies with very high social impact such as Alzheimer's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Diabetes.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROJECT

BiophotOmics is a multidisciplinary project, which also includes the biomedical production area. It is founded by “Bando per progetti di ricercara industriale strategica rivolti agli ambiti prioritari della strategia di Specializzazione Intelligente” (azione 1.2.2 Asse I POR-FESR Emilia- Romagna 2014-2020).

QUALIFIED PARTNERSHIP

The validation of the device will be carried on by using conventional microscopy techniques, such as electron, confocal, and fluorescent microscopy, usually performed in specialized research laboratories, involved as a partner in the project.

COMPETITIVE KNOW-HOW

The final aim of the project is the device commercialization. This will be possible, thanks to the tight collaborations between the three companies involved in the project as stake-holders. The biophotonic diagnosis, combined with the lipidomic approach will be the basis for competitive know-how in the healthy market.
