A TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND FEDERAL MARKETPLACE EVENT
TEDCO, NIST and NIH Present Bio-imaging Technologies For Commercial Adoption
On Tuesday, October 6, 2009, NIST and NIH presented novel bio-imaging technologies developed at their Labs. The Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO) sponsored this showcase featuring more than 50 government-developed technologies available for licensing or use by interested individuals, small businesses and corporations.
In addition to the more than 50 new technologies showcased, the event featured two dozen speakers, 12 from NIST and 12 from NIH, information on laboratory facilities at NIH and NIST that are available for public use, and a tour of NIST facilities. NIST researchers demonstrated bio-imaging technologies, such as a passive terahertz heterodyne imager for biomedical applications and nanoprobes for the diagnostic detection of infectious diseases.
