Sugar-to-Fiber Enzyme for Healthier Food
In collaboration with Kraft Heinz, our sugar-to-fiber product can convert sugar in food products into prebiotic fiber in the human gut, reducing the amount of sugar absorbed into the bloodstream without altering the amount of sugar in existing food product recipes. -
3D Bioprinting of Living Tissues
The Problem There is a severe shortage of human organs for people who need transplants due to injury or disease: more than 103,000 people are on the waiting list for organs in the US, and it’s estimated that 17 people die waiting for an organ transplant every day. Growing full organs from living human... -
LactoRING for a Healthy Vaginal Microbiome
LactoRING is a novel slow-release vaginal ring designed to ensure continuous replenishment of Lactobacillus, promoting a healthy vaginal microbiome for a longer duration. The slow-release mechanism and targeted delivery to the vaginal environment will enhance the efficacy and convenience of treatment, thereby providing a comprehensive approach to vaginal dysbiosis management.
