Summary:

The NCI is seeking licensees for the SLC46A3 knockout mouse line.

Description of Technology:

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is caused by several factors including 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), an environmental contaminant. TCDD causes lipid accumulation in humans by inducing the Solute Carrier Family 46 Member 3 (SLC46A3) gene expression. To effectively study TCDD-mediated lipid accumulation, research tools such as SLC46A3 knockout cells and animal models are required.

Description of Technology:

The development of an effective HIV vaccine has been ongoing. HIV sequence diversity and immunodominance are major obstacles in the design of an effective vaccine. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) developed a novel vaccine strategy combining both DNA and mRNA vaccination to induce an effective immune response. This combination strategy could also be used to develop vaccines against cancer or other infectious diseases (ex. SARS-CoV-2). 

Summary:

The NCI is currently seeking research co-development partners for this first-in-kind computational method that is predictive of therapeutic response based on clonal SC gene expression of tumors.

Description of Technology:

Tailoring the best treatments to cancer patients remains a highly important endeavor in the oncology field. However, personalized treatment courses are challenging to determine, and technologies or methods that can successfully be employed for precision oncology are lacking.

Summary:

Researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) developed a device simulating a blast shock wave of the type produced by explosive devices such as bombs. The invention allows for the real-time study of blast effects on in vitro cell models. NICHD researchers seek licensing opportunities to further develop this device.

Summary:

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) seeks licensees and/or research co-development partners for the development of an injectable contraceptive for women with a pharmaceutical formulation containing levonorgestrel butanoate (LB), a steroidal progestin.

Summary:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensees for a novel computer program performing radiation dose calculations for diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine.

Summary:

The National Eye Institute (NEI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for an automatic deep learning-based algorithm to detect and quantitate ellipsoid zone (EZ) loss in Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) images.

Summary: 

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for engineered chimeric snoRNA guides that recruit NAT10 to a specific target and cause directed acetylation of the target. They could be used to treat haploinsufficiency-associated disorders or diseases.

This technology includes efficient lentiviral gene delivery system for both guide RNA and Cas9 endonuclease as a method to cure sickle cell disease. Gene correction is an ideal gene therapy strategy for hereditary disease, including sickle cell disease.

Summary:

Researchers at UCI and NCI seek licensing to adopt new applications for a family of far-red to near-infrared emission coumarin-based luciferins (CouLuc) with complementary mutant enzymes.
