ClearLight Diagnostics, a developer of new tools and technologies for the analysis and imaging of tissue samples, announced today that it has signed an exclusive, worldwide license agreement with Stanford University for the intellectual property rights covering inventions relating to tissue processing and imaging. The licensed technologies involve CLARITY, a tissue “clarification” method that renders the tissue optically transparent, and COLM (CLARITY Optimized Light-sheet Microscopy), a new optics system for accelerating image collection from clarified samples. ClearLight is initially funded by a syndicate created by Wiegers Capital Partners LLC, and plans to commercialize products and services based on the licensed technologies.

“We are excited by the prospect of further developing the CLARITY and COLM technologies,” said Sarah McCurdy, Chief Executive Officer of ClearLight Diagnostics. “Our development efforts will ultimately impact the lives of many patients through the creation of new tools and services for diagnosing diseases and finding new treatments.”
