About this forum

This was the 1st of 3 Technology Transfer forums and events in LICA’s records, a series that began in 2012. 6 companies presented, listed below.

Next: Biotech Technology Transfer Capital Forum, June 14, 2013.

From LICA’s records

(in collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory). Agenda included a "Jeff Bass Award" and a BNL/DOE presentation. Corey Massella introduced the companies.

The capital forum provides an opportunity to meet capital providers and businesses seeking capital, as well as to hear a panel of industry experts discuss financing alternatives for technology transfer companies.Presenting Companies:Hybridyne Imaging

Hybridyne focuses on endoscopic imaging of the prostate to detect and localize cancer. The probe is designed to position the camera less than an inch from the gland, so a lower total dose of radioactive tracer can be used. Users can obtain the location of the abnormal tissue within the region of interest in an accurate, rapid, and less invasive manner.

SynchroPET is bringing to market the next generation of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners which have superior imaging capabilities to what is currently available in the pre-clinical and clinical markets today. SynchroPET’s technology is unique in that it can be paired with a pre-existing MRI machine enabling simultaneous imaging and has greater clarity than any other device on the market today.

A company founded by several current and former Brookhaven employees hopes to transfer a high-resolution, low-dose imaging technique from the synchrotron to the doctor's office. This breakthrough technology produces more detailed images with less than one percent of the radiation used by current X-ray modality.

BSA 12-01 – Porous Amorphous Germanium Oxide for Lithium Ion Battery Electrodes, US Patent pending

There is great interest in developing novel anode materials for high-performance Li-ion batteries, which are the key parts of portable electronic device, electric vehicles, and grid energy storage. This technology will create more powerful battery with that will last longer between charges, and have a longer lifetime than current lithium ion batteries.

BSA 07-22 – Room Temperature Radiation Detector for Oil & Gas Exploration, US Patent pending

With their less stringent cooling requirements and small size, these compact cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detectors can be deployed in spaces too small for conventional detectors to reach. Their ability to identify isotopes and perform high-spatial-resolution digital imaging is also expected to impact several medical, environmental, and national-security markets.

Their superconducting power storage technology eliminates power leakage through transmission lines which can revolutionize the power grid worldwide.
