This is the first sensor of its kind that operates in the near infrared region of the light spectrum. This light is so red that it passes through many centimeters of human tissue, and therefore, our sensor could be used in cells while inside of the body. |

We are focusing now on [applications] that are relevant to disease detection and treatment. The technique can also be used to track newly developed drugs as they travel into various types of cells. We are only a year or so away from this type of application. |
