• 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.
• Ropirio: Novel Treatments Targeting the Lymphatic System
  Ropirio is commercializing the world’s first drug that directly targets and reactivates lymph vessels, a portfolio of other lymph-targeting small molecules, and a preclinical platform for discovering more.
• 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.
• Engineered Live Biotherapeutic Product (eLBP) to Protect the Microbiome from Antibiotics
  eLBP is a safe and cost-effective therapeutic for patients treated with beta-lactam antibiotics that safeguards against the loss of health-essential microbes while preventing the development and spread of antibiotic resistance.
• 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.
• Immunostimulatory RNA Therapeutic for Treatment of Cancer and Infectious Disease
  Our novel dsRNAs stimulate the immune system to inhibit cancer, bacterial, and viral infections including SARS-CoV-2 and multiple influenza strains.

Collaborations 3

• Brigham-Wyss DxA
  The Wyss DxA's clinical partners from Brigham and Women’s Hospital identify the most pressing unmet diagnostic needs, provide access to high-quality patient samples for our Biomarker Discovery Laboratory (BDL) and Brigham-Wyss DxA collaborators, and provide invaluable feedback and guidance on the engineering and validation of cost-effective, sensitive, and specific diagnostic tests.

  FeCILL: Reimagining How We Treat the Sickest Patients
  Opportunistic fungal infections usually only affect patients whose immune systems are compromised, but when they do, they are often deadly – the mortality rate for these infections can be as high as 25%. Existing antifungal treatments have high levels of toxicity, and can harm the patient more than they help. Researchers at the Wyss Institute...

  Metabolic T cell Labeling: simple and effective enhancement of therapeutic T cells with immune-stimulating cytokines
  This animation shows how the surface of patient-derived T cells is metabolically labeled with azido-sugar molecules that then can be used to attach immune-enhancing cytokines with the help of click chemistry. The approach could help expand adoptive T cell therapies to treatment of solid tumors. Credit: Wyss Institute at Harvard University
