This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $994,138 to Modendo Inc., a for-profit company specializing in advanced biomedical engineering and optical imaging technologies. The funding supports the development and validation of a novel, ultrathin endomicroscope prototype capable of high-resolution, 3D optical imaging and photo-stimulation of neurons with minimal tissue damage. This innovative imaging technology aims to enable less invasive neuroscience research on animal models, potentially advancing the understanding and treatment of neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease. The project, running from August 2024 to July 2026, will result in a commercial-ready endomicroscope prototype with unprecedented capabilities for deep brain imaging and neuroscience applications.
