Award to CELLIA SCIENCE, INC. by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering to develop a deep-UV microscopy device for real-time analysis of bone marrow aspirates, aiming for FDA clearance.
Description
Cellia aims to improve the quality and reliability of bone marrow aspiration procedures by developing a point-of-care instrument for rapid, non-destructive sample adequacy assessment using a label-free, deep-ultraviolet technique for cell imaging and analysis. The project builds on Phase I success and plans to transition hardware to a printed circuit board, develop production software, and evaluate effectiveness on clinical samples to achieve FDA clearance.
