 - News)(Frankfurt/FSE: YP2), a developer of next-generation medical imaging applications using advanced infrared technology announced today that it has entered into research agreement with the Research Foundation of the State University of New York (body) State University of New York - (SUNY) The public university system of New York State, USA, with campuses throughout the state. , a nonprofit, educational corporation acting on behalf of Stony Brook University The State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNYSB), also known as Stony Brook University (SBU) is a public research university located in Stony Brook, New York (on the north side of Long Island, about 55 miles east of Manhattan, New York).  and the Center for Biotechnology, a New York State Center for Advanced Technology. The project will investigate the use of Advanced BioPhotonics' Dynamic Infrared Imaging Technology (DIRI(R)) in cancer drug discovery as well as in adjunctive diagnosis of breast cancer. The project will potentially be expanded into several other applications including perforator per·fo·rate

, and cancer therapy monitoring (breast cancer, melanoma, etc.). The research will be carried out by Terry Button, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology, Stony Brook University.

"We are delighted to be again working with Stony Brook and Dr. Button on these exciting and important applications" said Denis Denis, king of Portugal: see Diniz.  O'Connor, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Dr. Button was an important early contributor to the work of the company and we look forward to continuing our relationship and supporting Terry in his efforts".

To conduct this research, the University Medical Center at Stony Brook will employ the company's BioScanIR(R) System, a functional medical imaging modality that provides a fast, non-invasive, radiation free method for detecting diseases that affect blood perfusion. The agreement can be continued for a period of up to five years.

 infrared from a stationary imaging technology to a dynamic imaging technology. This is the equivalent to the advancement from still photos to moving pictures in photography." said Dr. Button. "With this advancement we can observe blood perfusion and plan to use this capability to study the BioScanIR's application to a variety of clinical challenges including the detection of cancer, monitoring therapies, wound healing and guidance of surgery to name a few." The project will be co-sponsored by the Center for Biotechnology, a State-funded organization that helps New York's life sciences industry capitalize upon the resources of the University to promote product commercialization and industry growth. According to Diane Fabel, Director of Operations for the Center for Biotechnology, "this is exactly the type of project and technology we look to co-develop. We look forward to working with Advanced BioPhotonics, Inc., to broaden the clinical and research applications of the BioscanIR."
