PATHS-UP: The Commercialization of Raman Instrumentation at the Point of Care — With Samuel Mabbott, Michael Matthews, and Cyril Soliman

The Precise Advanced Technologies and Health Systems for
Underserved Populations initiative, or PATHS-UP, aims to
integrate engineering research and education with technological
innovation to transform national prosperity, health, and
security. The National Science Foundation-funded collaboration
also extends into industry, to ensure that positive R&D
outcomes ascend into use in the wider community.


In a panel discussion, host Jake Saltzman is joined by Samuel
Mabbott, assistant professor in the Texas A&M Department of
Biomedical Engineering; Cyril Soliman, who earned his Ph.D. under
Mabbott in the Texas A&M Biomedical Optics Lab and drove much
of the research on the initiative; and Michael Matthews, vice
president of the spectroscopy division at Wasatch Photonics. The
trio served as key players on a portion of PATHS-UP-supported
work that involves the development of a surface-enhanced Raman
spectroscopy technology that targets the detection of core
biomarkers at the point of care.
