The Vaccine Branch is seeking statements of capability or interest from parties interested in licensing V1-deleted immunogens to further develop, evaluate, or commercialize an improved HIV vaccine.
NCI is seeking parties to non-exclusively license the ADR-RES cell line.
Cancer cells may acquire drug resistance after prolonged chemotherapy. In many cases, cancer cells develop resistance to several drugs with distinct structures and modes of action. This multi-drug resistance phenomenon increases the complexity of cancer treatment.
Advanced colorectal carcinoma is currently incurable, and new therapies are urgently needed. Ephrin (Eph) receptors are a clinically relevant class of receptor tyrosine kinases. Related signaling pathways are associated with oncogenesis of a number of cancers. NCI investigators found that phosphotyrosine-dependent Eph receptor signaling sustains colorectal carcinoma cell survival, thereby uncovering a survival pathway active in colorectal carcinoma cells.
NCI is seeking parties to non-exclusively license the A2243 human synovial sarcoma cell line.
The NCI seeks co-development partners or licensees to further develop the novel ExoVII inhibitor(s) as antibiotic adjuvants for enhancing the efficacy of quinolone antibiotics, particularly in quinolone-resistant bacterial strains.
Cytokines are a broad category of intercellular signaling proteins that are critical for intercellular communication in human health and disease. However, systematic profiling of cytokine signaling activities has remained challenging due to the short half-lives of cytokines, and the pleiotropic functions and redundancy of cytokine activities within specific cellular contexts.
The NCI seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the sulfatide analog, C24:2
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. The overall 5-year survival rate is 8.5%. Glypican-1 (GPC1) is a cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan protein overexpressed in pancreatic cancer. Due to preferential expression, GPC1 represents a potential candidate for targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer and other GPC1-expressing cancers, such as prostate.
The NCI seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a selective polylysine succinylated (PLS) drug delivery platform.
The NCI is seeking licensees to develop an automated digital pathology device compatible with high-throughput data analysis.
