|
ProVivoX Inc. is specialized in providing a new kind of survival prognosis test, PhiPlex, to cancer patients. |
We aspire to develop and commercialize a first-in-class FDA-approved In Vitro Diagnostics kit with predictive and prognostic capabilities for breast cancer.
|
Orpheden Therapeutics is developing a personalized cancer therapy which mobilizes a patient's own immune system to target an individual’s specific tumor physiology without the harsh effects of current untargeted therapies.
|
Taxotest, our flagship product, is a diagnostic biomarker that can be applied to a patient’s tumor sample to predict whether she would benefit from taxane-based chemotherapy.
|
Nanobernetics is broadly-applicable, carbon nanotube technology that will revolutionize the field of precision medicine through diagnostic testing and prognostic monitoring.
|
NanoRED is developing the next generation of immunotherapies capable of killing cancers and driving durable responses without systemic toxicity.
|
NanoSENSE will enable personal cancer biomarker detection. We will develop novel sensor technologies that detect DNA or other biological targets using a patented, miniaturized and label-free system that operates on personal smartphone devices. |
Latona Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing a localized and targeted drug delivery system, using the licensed patent, which can minimize generic side-effects associated with chemotherapy administered to cancer patients.
|
Precision Nanotech uses a platform technology developed by the NIH that can greatly reduce side effects, improve efficacy, and increase quality of life for patients
|
At Mesopharm, we envision to develop first-in-class biological therapies at a pre-clinical stage and accelerate their transition into the clinic.
|
EDroneS is developing an autonomous robotic surveillance system for companies and houses using artificial intelligence and deep learning technology, which will rely on drones and rovers to act as platforms for the sensors and processing system during the surveillance process.
|
ElectroKite is on a mission to utilize NASA’s vision control system to build a modular wind system that can be used to serve much smaller needs at an economical cost. |
Free Electron Designs is planning to be the answer for those that don't have access to electricity by using a NASA IP called Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC).
|
Genetoo is using NASA technology to combat the rising level of post-surgery infections, offering an innovative treatment that allows implantable, internal devices to fully repel bacteria.
|
Jakuta is incorporating NASA’s patented piezoelectric material into shoes in which constant compressions generate energy that can be harnessed, stored and used to power critical devices such as lights and cell phones.
|
Joule's mission is to develop a battery-free wearable product with enhanced analytical and sensory capabilities that will transform PT rehab.
|
Maverick Drones is using advanced drone control technology created by NASA in order to improve science and math education in America.
|
Minus Tau is using NASA technology to develop a smart helmet that will reduce the 30% of undiagnosed concussions every 1 in 5 contact sport athletes will receive in any given season.
|
