We need a mechanical design engineer in Seoul and research scientists in optics in Boston. Up to now, we've raised about $3 million in capital. Using Raman technology, we are making a non-invasive CGM and are currently in clinical trials with MIT to show how well our small device works.

서울에서 Pre-A 투자에 대한 기사가 났습니다. 우리의 목적은 하나, 기구설계 엔지니어(서울)와 광학 연구원(보스턴)을 만나는 것입니다. 우리 같이 바늘 없는 초소형 혈당측정기 한번 만들어보지 않을래요? 🤗

아폴론은 23억원 규모의 프리(Pre)-A 투자를 유치했다고 밝혔다. 이번 투자는 지난해 11월 시드투자에 이어 내년 초 계획 중인 시리즈A를 이어주는 브릿지 라운드로 KB인베스트먼트, 스틱벤처스, 비하이인베스트먼트

🙋‍♂️ "Will non-invasive blood glucose monitoring be possible?"
🙆‍♀️ "Maybe yes." This is why we need to pay attention to spectroscopy, especially Raman techniques.

With diabetes and its associated costs on the rise around the world, effective blood glucose monitoring is considered more important than ever. While

Characteristic ciliary beat frequency (CBF) measurement with current video microscopic techniques can be error-prone due to the use of the single-point Fourier transformation, which is often biased for ciliary measurements. Herein, we describe a new video microscopy technique that harnesses a metric of motion-contrast imaging and image correlation for CBF analysis.

🙋‍♂️"Can Raman spectroscopy help improving immune cell therapies?"

🙆‍♀️ "Yes, for sure!" "It is important and technically difficult to identify the type and activation of cells in living and intact immune cells without defiling or killing cells. According to the Nature (2016), Raman spectroscopy was quite useful in discriminating between living T cells and B cells, and in visualizing the activation status of living T cells without labeling. Also, Raman spectra of activated T cells with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies largely differed compared to that of naïve T cells, enabling the prediction of T cell activation status at a single cell level, the article said."

The acquired immune system, mainly composed of T and B lymphocytes, plays a key role in protecting the host from infection. It is important and technically challenging to identify cell types and their activation status in living and intact immune cells, without staining or killing the cells. Using R...
