NEMO - Nano-based
capsule-Endoscopy with Molecular Imaging and Optical
biopsy
The objective of the NEMO project is to develop an advanced cancer
screening system that is patient-friendly, highly sensitive and specific for
early detection of gastrointestinal cancer. The NEMO project will adopt
converging technologies combining optical imaging technologies with novel nano-technologies for biosensing,
maneuvering and ultra low power miniaturization to create a unique wireless
capsule endoscope including an array of immunoassay methods for the detection
of surface and deeper tissue pathology, especially cancer..
