Grants
July 2002 R44 GM066511 A Tunable Tabletop Synchrotron Light Source
The Compact Light Source was developed with this Fast Track SBIR. Funding was provided through Phase I of the National Institutes of Health's Protein Structure Initiative. The grant was administered by the National Institute for General Medical Sciences.
July 2005 R44 GM074437 A Compact X-ray Station for Protein Crystallography
As the title indicates, this grant is to develop and integrate software (BLU-ICE) as well as X-ray optics, and an X-ray station, that utilizes the X-ray beam from the Compact light Source. Funding for this Fast Track SBIR grant was provided through the Protein Structure Initiative of the National Institutes of Health and administered by the National Institute for General Medical Sciences.
July 2005 U54 GM074961 The Accelerated Technologies Center for Gene to 3D Structure
This Grant is part of Phase II of the Protein Structure Initiative. Lyncean Technologies is building a Compact Light Source and X-ray Station for the grant. The Grant is administered by both the National Institute for General Medical Sciences and the National Center for Research Resources.
May 2009 1R43RR025730-01 A Clinical High Resolution Imaging System
This Phase I SBIR grant will result in the design of a high resolution imaging system for microscopic computed tomography or tomosynthesis using differential phase contrast imaging (DPCI). DPCI produces image contrast using either phase or scattering mechanisms and results in the visualization of features in soft tissue that can't be seen using conventional absorption techniques. The grant is administered by the National Center for Research Resources.
Sept 2009 3R44GM074437-02S3 Compact X-ray Station for Protein Crystallography
In this Competitive Grant Revision to the Fast-Track SBIR grant, CXS, enhancements and upgrades will be made to the Compact Light Source (CLS) that will substantially increase x-ray flux to the CXS. The grant is administered by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.
