Injectable Hydrogel Adhesive for Improved Muscle Regeneration
A super-strong, stretchy, and self-healing biomaterial that adheres to muscles and helps them heal faster after injury. -
MyoExo: Wearable Muscle-Centric Sensors for Improved Assessment of Neurological Disorders
MyoExo is a diagnostic technology based on strain sensors that can accurately detect muscle rigidity in patients with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders. Data obtained with the device continuously from patients could improve the monitoring of treatments, and therapeutic interventions. -
Catalytic Materials: Cheaper, Better Air Purification for a Healthier World
Our catalytic materials are inspired by the nanostructure of butterfly wings and enable affordable air purification for a variety of applications. -
cSNAP: Eco-Friendly Air Conditioning
Our eco-friendly air conditioning technology is a low-carbon-footprint evaporative cooling system that reduces indoor air temperature without adding humidity. -
Reel Foods: Cultivated fillets of fish for healthier people and planet
Reel Foods leverages cardiac tissue engineering methods developed at the Wyss Institute to generate cultivated fish fillets that are indistinguishable from wild-caught seafood, have a lower carbon footprint than traditional fish production, and are free from contaminants like mercury and PFAS. -
Soft hydrogel electrodes for better, safer implants
Soft, conductive hydrogels match the physical properties of the human brain, enabling the creation of electrodes and implantable devices that can improve brain-machine interfaces while reducing the risk of injury.
