Identification of Body Fluids Using Raman Spectroscopy A one-step confirmatory test to identify forensic body fluid samples. Technology Overview: This simple, non-destructive method for positive identification of all forensic body fluid types, is based on Raman Spectroscopy,a light scattering phenomenon that provides a unique molecular vibrational signature of a material. The patented technology... Category(s): Technology Classifications > Diagnostics, Campus > University at Albany
Biomarker Diagnostic for Crohn's Disease Severity There are approximately 1.8 million people suffering from Crohn's disease in the US and Europe. A portion of these will require aggressive treatment, such as surgical resections and biologics. Upstate has identified a novel mutant fusion mRNA that allows easy and definitive identification of a subset of Crohn's Disease patients that is highly...

A Rapid Pupillometric Test for Glaucoma This technology provides a rapid and objective means of testing for the presence of glaucoma. It also provides a quick and reliable means of assessing the progress of the disease in confirmed cases of existing glaucoma. It is well established that glaucoma affecting a given eye has a strong tendency to affect certain areas of the retina. These affected...

Layer-By-Layer Quantification of the Remodeling of the Human Fovea In Neurodegenerative Disease: A Dignaostic and Research Tool Parkinson’s disease, as well as other neurodegenerative disorders, affects the visual system of the brain, including the eye. While researchers have clearly documented changes to the retina which are diagnostic or characteristic of Parkinson’s disease, this work in itself has not previously yielded a distillation of the changes to be measured in...

Identification of Auto-Antibody to Folate Receptors The critical role of folates in the normal development of the nervous system in mammals is well-established. Cerebral folate deficiency (CFD) can potentiate or contribute to multiple neurodevelopmental disorders in humans, including autism. Dietary folates are normally transported to the central nervous system via specific folate receptors. To... Category(s): Technology Classifications > Diagnostics

Differential Diagnosis of Benign and Cancer Prostate The detection of Hexim1 gene expression levels by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) complemented by analysis of tissue and cellular distribution using immunohistocheistry (IHC) will provide critical information not only in the growth status of the prostate gland but more importantly, it will distinguish between benign or cancerous growth. It will be a... Category(s): Technology Classifications > Diagnostics, Technology Classifications > Gene Therapy, Campus > SUNY Old Westbury
Fast NIR Probes for Optical Electrophysiology Current problem Optical imaging of myocardial tissue is traditionally done by using either branch electrodes, or high voltage sensitive dye. Both of these mapping procedures have significant drawbacks. Using branch electrodes to map the myocardial tissue is problematic because several needles have to be inserted into the heart, causing damage...
