Mock Deep Testing: Toward Separate Development of Data and Models for Deep Learning
This technology enables automated, independent testing of deep learning data and models using configurable mock models and synthetic data, quickly diagnosing and fixing issues in data preparation, model design, and training—improving reliability and…
Infectious Disease Diagnostics
Antigenic Peptides to Diagnose Chagas Disease
This technology uses new peptides to detect T. cruzi antibodies in tissue samples, enabling the diagnosis of Chagas disease.
Biotechnology
3D Organoid Platform for Translational Modeling of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
This technology is a 3D organoid model that mimics castration-resistant prostate cancer by combining three human cell types to study tumor-stromal interactions, hormone signaling, and drug resistance, enabling more accurate testing of cancer…
Oncology
Novel Therapeutic Strategies for Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
This technology uses gene therapy delivered by stem cell-derived exosomes or lipid nanoparticles to selectively kill prostate cancer cells by expressing a toxic protein, offering a targeted, low-immunogenic treatment for resistant prostate cancers…
Diagnostics
One-pot Ago Isothermal Assay
This technology uses a thermophilic Argonaute protein to rapidly and accurately detect small amounts of DNA or RNA, including mutations, from various sources with high sensitivity, specificity, and multiplex capability, making it useful for non-…
Drug Delivery Systems
Novel Antibiotic Nanosphere
This technology uses biodegradable nanospheres to deliver vancomycin locally at surgical sites, providing sustained antibiotic release for about a month to prevent infections, improve healing, and reduce side effects, with potential for other drug…
Hardware
Rapid 3D-Printing Workflow
This technology improves how certain 3D printers (specifically fused filament fabrication, or FFF printers) decide where and how to move while printing an object. Instead of strictly printing one full layer at a time, the system analyzes the full 3D…
Biotechnology
Immunotherapy and CAR-T Cell Technology for Treating Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections
This technology is a new type of targeted immunotherapy designed to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Instead of relying on traditional antibiotics, the approach uses specially engineered monoclonal antibodies…
