Jan 31, 2007 “I focus on instrumentation for detection and sensing systems -- not imaging or clinical therapeutic uses. The overall market opportunity, for all technologies, in detection systems and sensors across agriculture, homeland security, biomedical diagnosis and the military, is estimated to be about $16 billion,” said Krohn. “If you drill down and just look at biophotonics and photonics detection systems, the market potential is still over $2 billion by the year 2011.”

Among the biotech areas under study at Breault, he said, are an
optical means of glucose measurement; illumination and imaging for
surgical instruments; and light-source modeling for biophotonics, or
the study of the interaction between biological materials and light.

A doctor who works with a local optics firm said medical optics
technologies are quickly moving beyond diagnostics to advanced
therapeutic tools.
"They're talking about going deep inside the body with these biooptics
machines," said Dr. Larry Marsteller, a UA-educated physician
and director of medical products for CDEX Inc. in Tucson.

CDEX, based in Rockville, Md., is developing X-ray and ultraviolet
explosives-detection systems for military and homeland-defense
applications and an optical pill-identification system.
The company's principal scientist, former UA Steward Observatory
researcher Wade Poteet, said he hopes to collaborate with UA
scientists on new biological detection technologies.
