About Lasysinc
April 6th, 2008LaSys
Inc.
is a privately held company based
in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The Company was incorporated
in New Mexico in January 2000 based on technology exclusively
licensed from New Mexico State University (NMSU). In
a unique relationship with NMSU, the University through its
Technology Transfer Corporation currently holds an equity
ownership position in LaSys.
Other aspects of this relationship include a continuing involvement
of NMSU inventors, scientists, and engineers in the LaSys
development activities and the Company’s access to
University facilities and equipment. LaSys
currently maintains office
and laboratory facilities in the Genesis Center on the NMSU
campus.
The
Founders of LaSys
include a group of NMSU physicists and engineers, and
an experienced entrepreneur with an established record of
organizing successful technology based companies. Working
with the University’s administration, the Founders have established
a proprietary position that currently includes several U.S.
and foreign patents and a number of pending patent applications
covering a group of novel optically active nanocomposite materials
that possess unique properties that are expected to offer
commercial potential in a variety of industries. Through
its agreement with NMSU, LaSys
possesses exclusive worldwide rights to this proprietary
technology including certain future developments.
Following
its initial objective of moving the existing technology out
of the university research laboratories, LaSys
initiated the fabrication and development of the nanocomposite
materials in its own facilities. At the same time, the
Company will benefit from the continuing research and collaborative
relationships of the inventors who continue the pursuit of
their basic research in the optical nancomposite field.
::
Future Direction ::
The
Company intends to capitalize on these proprietary technologies
through the development of products in a wide range of potential
commercial and military markets. This includes the development
of ultra sensitive devices for detection of chemical and biological
agents in warfare defense and terrorism, in agriculture, regulatory,
research, environmental and chemical processing and medical
diagnostics.
In
addition, the technology will serve as the basis for unique
accessory devices in the fiber optic telecommunication field,
optical micro lasers, and applications in photochemistry and
photobiology.
