Funded Activity Summary

Functional nonlinear optical endoscopy - the third-generation optical endoscopy technology toward early cancer detection at a cellular level. The third-generation optical endoscopy technology can be used for a better understanding of nonlinear optical interaction with organ sites and thus for early cancer detection. Such a novel device will enable biomedical scientists to gain the fundamental knowledge needed to enable Australians to develop better medical strategies for health and productive lives. Since 1 in 3 Australians will feel the effects of cancers, development of portable nonlinear optical endoscopes is of national importance, in particular for rural Australia, and therefore improves the healthcare of human beings. The potential spin-off activity will lead to economic benefits from new R&D development.
