Greenville Magazine April 2009 : Page 31selah technologies Michael Bolick,Founder and CEO selah technologies Michael Bolick is excited about nanodots and nanotubes. His Selah Dots™ are patent-pending, photoluminescent carbon-based nanoparticles – carbon dots that light up under fluorescent light. They can be used, for example, as markers during surgery. if you engineer the particles to seek out the margins of diseased tissue, then a surgeon can more easily determine what to cut and what to leave. early detection of disease is seen as a frontier for medicine, allowing doctors to prescribe medicines and procedures earlier and more precisely. Bolick's carbon dots are positioned to replace heavier, more toxic alternatives in surgery. Bolick's background is pharmaceuticals and he says that when he discovered that this technology was available to license and further develop through Clemson, he was so excited he started looking around the room to see if anyone else was taking notes. Since then, he has assembled an impressive team of nano tech engineers and scientists to bring Selah Dots™ to market. AG 31 Publication List |
