American Biooptics

Description

• American BioOptics (ABO) is a medical device company located in Evanston, Illinois. The company was founded in 2006 by a group of entrepreneurs, expert physicians in gastroenterology, and an internationally-renowned biomedical engineer with expertise in optical technologies. ABO holds an exclusive license from Northwestern University and Evanston Northwestern Healthcare to multiple pending patents. The scientists, physicians, and engineers at ABO have a unique expertise in cancer cell biology, genetics, oncology, gastroenterology and optical technologies, including Four-dimensional Elastic Light-Scattering Fingerprinting (ELF), Low Coherence Enhanced Backscatter (LEBS), and Partial Wave Spectroscopy (PWS). American BioOptics is pioneering a new method to screen for colon cancer through the development of a minimally intrusive optical diagnostic test. Developed with substantial research funding from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, the companys novel optical technology shines light inside the colon and analyzes how the reflected light interacts with the lining of the colon. This interaction provides unique insight into abnormalities in healthy appearing tissue that are too small to be seen with an endoscope or microscope. Such subtle changes, including an increase in blood flow to the surface cells lining the colon and changes in the architecture of the cells themselves, can be assessed from the rectum and have been linked to an increased risk of cancer in our early human studies.
