Early cancer detection is critical to treatment. Currently, biopsy under endoscopy is used for diagnosis, but most biopsies turn out

negative. The current project develops a dual axis confocal endomicroscopy with switchable

vertical/horizontal cross-sectional deep tissue imaging that achieves subcellular resolution with large field of view.

Technical specs include, XY resolution 2 um, Z resolution 5 um, FOV 600 x 600 um.

a next-generation myoelectric prosthetic hand forachieving high precision conforming grasping;

high degrees of freedom and can achieve multiplehand motions;

Controlled by two EMG signals in the amputatedforearms; and

Due to smart design, fewer components areneeded, leading to a much lower cost compared toproducts on the markets with similarfunctionalities.

Introduction to funding mechanism

Type I: Global Collaboratory of Advanced Material Systems and Simulations

Focused on simulation and materials systems supported by simulation and experiments.

Advanced technologies, novel concepts, longer projects Project selections are partially made by a scientific committee

organized by the Center

Type II: Translational research projects and technology transfer

Broad interests: materials, biotechnology, water, Robotics Could be sponsored project for short translational work Could be investment into spin-off companies

BICI postdoc fellowship Higher salary for excellent postdocs Projects fully sponsored by BICI Interested in coming to China

17

Introduction to Collaboratory

Northwestern + Peking + BICI 2.5M USD X 5 year program on simulation and material systems Managed by the scientific oversight committee with members

from three partners Directions Project selections

Activities include Advanced research projects, done collaboratively Student exchange, education Symposia Commercialization

18

Process

Periodic call for proposals Proposals are reviewed and selected by SOC based on

scientific merits. BICI carries out commercialization analysis. Project approval by the Oversight Committee

19

Introduction to Type II - Translational work

Targeted Areas
