Infotonics Technology Center Inc. and Medi-photonics Development Co. LLC are jointly developing an ingestible "photonic pill" that would enable physicians to detect early stage cancer of the digestive tract. The compact photonic explorer (CPE), a type of "pill camera" for medical applications using optical biopsy technology, is expected to be ready for delivery in 12 to 18 months; estimated R&D costs are $3 to 5 million. The research for the CPE, led by Robert Alfan at City University of New York, is part of a four-year collaboration among Cornell University, State University of New York...Read full article
