DoriVac: DNA Origami-Based Vaccines for Combination Immunotherapy
Personalized cancer and infectious disease vaccine platform harnessing DNA nanotechnology to control the co-delivery and co-presentation of tumor antigen and adjuvant ligands to immune cells with nanoscale precision. This approach has potential to trigger enhanced immune responses against tumors and infectious pathogens. -
Metabolically Labeled CAR-T Cells Against Cancer
Through a simple and effective metabolic labeling approach, patient-derived T cells engineered to carry immune-enhancing cytokines on their surfaces could help expand adoptive T cell therapies to treatment of solid tumors and improve blood cancer therapies. -
AminoX: Making Better Protein Drugs, Quicker and Cheaper
AminoX enables protein drugs to only become active in the tumor microenvironment and not elsewhere in the body to avoid immune-related adverse effects in the body. By designing and building non-standard amino acids into strategic positions of protein drugs, AminoX provides tumor-specific, and longer-lasting target inhibition. -
ReConstruct: Vascularized Tissue for Breast Reconstruction and Augmentation
ReConstruct is a platform for growing, vascularizing, and implanting patient-derived tissues that enable safer breast reconstruction after cancer surgery. -
NodeTX: Growing Lymph Nodes to Treat Cancer
NodeTX is a novel immunotherapy that leverages the human body's innate ability to grow lymph nodes to fight tumors. -
Cellular “Backpacks” to Fight Cancer, Autoimmune Disorders, and More
Macrophages are very malleable immune cells, but that also means that they can be influenced by cancerous tumors and inflammatory processes. Our cellular "backpacks" stick to macrophages and can deliver molecules that keep them in their desired state for cell therapy and more.

Video/AnimationLet’s talk about women’s healthWhen promoting the ReConstruct technology, which improves the lives of patients undergoing breast reconstruction, our social media team found that the use of the word “breast” was deemed as “inappropriate” by the algorithms of certain social media sites. Thus, these posts performed more poorly than similar posts. Without the ability to talk openly about Women’s... -
