Dissemination to potential biological user community

We have identified the key research groups in Ohio area who are expected to be our immediate potential biological users and contacted them to introduce our instrument. The research groups we’ve reached include: Dr. William Chilian’s group at Northeast Ohio Medical University, Dr, Jianjun Guan’s group at Ohio State University, Dr. Eben Alsberg’s group at Case Western Reserve University and Dr. Chunying Du’s group at University of Cincinnati. All of these groups agree to test our instrument in their laboratories once we produce a demo unit.
