Automatic System and Method for Tissue Sectioning, Staining, and Scanning
Summary:
The NCI is seeking licensees to develop an automated digital pathology device compatible with high-throughput data analysis.
Anti-Glypican 2 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) Containing CD28 Hinge And Transmembrane Domains For Treating Neuroblastoma
Description of Technology:
Neuroblastomas are the most common extracranial solid tumors in pediatric patients, with 700-800 new cases annually in the United States. Metastatic neuroblastomas have a five-year survival rate of 50% and account for 15% of all pediatric cancer deaths. As such, more effective treatments against high-risk neuroblastomas are urgently needed.
Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CAR)-T Cells that Target the Non-Shed Portion of Mesothelin as a Therapeutic Agent
Description of Technology:
Mesothelin (MSLN) is an excellent target for antibody-based therapies of cancer because of its high expression in many malignancies but lack of expression on essential normal tissues. Unfortunately, a large fragment of MSLN is shed from cancer cells, causing the currently available anti-MSLN antibodies (and immunoconjugates thereof) which bind to the shed portion of MSLN to quickly lose their therapeutic effectiveness over time.
Mice, Organs, and Mouse Alleles Carrying Germline and Conditional Deletions of the Zbtb7b Gene
Summary:
The NCI seeks parties interested in licensing this mouse model, including the mice, organs, tissues, and other derivatives from mice carrying deletions of the Zbtb7b gene.
T Cell Receptors Targeting CDKN2A Mutations for Cancer Immunotherapy
Summary:
The NCI seeks parties interested in research co-development and/or licensing this library of TCRs targeting CDKN2A mutations.
Sensitive and Economic RNA Virus Detection Using a Novel RNA Preparation Method
Summary:
Inventors at the National Eye Institute are seeking research and co-development partners and/or licensees to: (1) advance the production and uses of the new RNA preparation method, (2) manufacture reagent kits for testing in patients with suspected COVID-19 and other DNA/RNA viruses, and (3) manufacture reagent kits for patient biomarker profiles and inherited disease diagnostics.
Tamperless Tensor Elastography Imaging
Summary:
The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the development of tamper-less tensor elastography imaging in assessing disease (e.g., cancer), normal and abnormal developmental processes, degeneration and trauma in the brain and other soft tissues, and other applications.
Time Efficient Multi-Pulsed Field Gradient (mPFG) MRI Without Concomitant Gradient Field Artifacts
Summary:
The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the development of diffusion tensor distribution MR imaging (DTD-MRI) in assessing disease (e.g., cancer), normal and abnormal developmental processes, degeneration and trauma in the brain and other soft tissues, or in other applications.
Enhanced Antigen Reactivity of Immune Cells Expressing a Mutant Non-Signaling CD3 Zeta Chain
Summary:
Researchers at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development are highly motivated in seeking licensing and/or collaboration partners to develop therapeutic cell populations arising out of these technologies. An ideal partner would enter into both a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) and an exclusive license agreement towards commercialization of one or more therapies to treat various oncologies.
T Cell Receptors Targeting EGFR L858R mutation on HLA-A*11:01+ Tumors for Use as Research Tools
Summary:
The Surgery Branch seeks licensees for research use of TCRs targeting EGFR L858R mutation.
