Fairway has
research laboratories completely equipped with lasers, electronics
and mechanical devices for basic studies, preclinical research in
animals, and certainly clinical studies. We have R&D
facilities and researchers experienced in optoacoustic tomography, imaging,
sensing and monitoring systems, ultrasound systems, custom
ultrasonic transducer arrays, spectrometers as well as other sensing
technologies used in most biomedical research projects. Our
testing and assembly labs are suitable for manufacturing and
assembly of custom detectors, fiberoptic light delivery systems, optoacoustic phantoms, electronics
boards. Our team has also expertise in math and computer
modeling, software and firmware design.
In the past
7 years, Fairway has been awarded a number of research grants from
the National Cancer Institute of NIH and US Army for the purpose of
developing of different applications of the optoacoustic technology with the main
emphasis being the detection and diagnosis of cancer. The
present research projects include:
- Optoacoustic Imaging with Contrast
Enhanced by Gold Nanorods in Preclinical Cancer Research (NCI
sponsored project in collaboration with Prof. Massoud Motamedi,
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston)
- Hybrid Optoacoustic-Ultrasonic System for
Diagnostic Imaging of Breast Cancer (NCI sponsored and Seno
Medical sponsored project in collaboration with Pamela Otto,
Cancer Therapy and Research Center at San Antonio)
- Optoacoustic System for Image-Guided
Biopsy of Prostate Cancer (NCI sponsored project in
collaboration with Kenneth Bartels and Daqing Piao, Oklahoma
State University)
- Optoacoustic Nano-Biosensor of
Blood-borne Pathogens (Office of Naval Research sponsored
project in collaboration with Randolph Glickman, UT Health
Science Center at San Antonio).
-
Feasibility of Laser Assisted NanoThermolysis as Tumor Cell
Elimination Technology (Alliance for Nanohealth sponsored
project in collaboration with Marina Konopleva and Michael
Andreeff, UT MD Anderson Cancer Center).
