Live antibiotic co-therapy

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.

Cell Therapy Platform

SomaCode: Getting Cell Therapies Where They Need to Go

SomaCode is solving the problem of cell therapy delivery by identifying unique molecular “zip codes” for disease and engineering cells to home to those zip codes, making cell therapies safer and more effective.

Wearable device

MyoExo: Smart Wearable Sensors for Parkinson’s Disease

MyoExo is a wearable, fabric-based device with integrated smart sensors that aims to accurately monitor the primary signs of Parkinson’s Disease over time, improving diagnosis and treatment.

Drug discovery platform

CircaVent: A Drug Discovery Platform for Mental Health Conditions

CircaVent is a novel drug discovery platform that combines predictive algorithms, high-throughput preclinical models, and human organoids to identify and test drugs that could treat mental health conditions like bipolar disorder.

ENERGY-SAVING RADIANT COOLING

Origami-Inspired Radiant Cooling for Improved Thermal Health

Origami-inspired Radiant Cooling devices for a broad range of building interiors use microfluidic water-circuits and foldable designs that increase their surface area to achieve more effective cooling.

DNA Assembly

Crisscross Nanoseed Detection: Nanotechnology-Powered Infectious Disease Diagnostics

This nanotech-based diagnostic platform uses a unique nucleation mechanism that assembles a DNA "nanoseed" in the presence of a pathogen-derived biomarker that then is amplified within 15 minutes to create a signal for easy detection. It is highly robust, and cost-effective, and can be adapted to detect a variety of biomarkers.
