07.0008: PATHS-UP: THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF RAMAN INSTRUMENTATION AT THE POINT OF CARE — WITH SAMUEL MABBOTT, MICHAEL MATTHEWS, AND CYRIL SOLIMAN (6/13/2023)
The Precise Advanced Technologies and Health Systems for Underserved Populations initiative, or PATHS-UP, aims to integrate engineering research and education with technological innovation to transform national prosperity, health, and security. The National Science Foundation-funded collaboration also extends into industry, to ensure that positive R&D outcomes ascend into use in the wider community.
In a panel discussion, host Jake Saltzman is joined by
Samuel Mabbott, assistant professor in the Texas A&M Department of Biomedical Engineering;
Cyril Soliman, who earned his Ph.D. under Mabbott in the Texas A&M Biomedical Optics Lab and drove much of the research on the initiative; and
Michael Matthews, vice president of the spectroscopy division at Wasatch Photonics. The trio served as key players on a portion of PATHS-UP-supported work that involves the development of a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy technology that targets the detection of core biomarkers at the point of care.
