Technologies Wanted
Here are some of the technologies our industry partners are seeking from universities.
If you have technologies that can meet our partners’ needs, please contact a member of our team. We will work hard to represent the university’s interests in a licensing agreement that generates a fair return for all parties: the researchers, the tech transfer office, the university, and the licensing company.
TechID: BSB10_0625
TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
Flow cytometry is a sophisticated tool for the fundamental investigation into hematologic malignancies, by identifying the malignant cell type through detection of cell surface proteins that provide information on its differentiation and/or maturation stage. More than 100 CD surface antigens have been identified on hemopoietic cells. Flow cytometry can find aberrant patterns of antigens expressed on cells. High-speed sorters and analyzers are now capable of detecting more than a dozen colors simultaneously and analyzing thousands of cells per second.

TechID: BSB10_0915
TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
Key challenges for biomarker verification and validation are the cohort selection and the development of suitable platforms for quantitative analysis and high throughput. A limitation of traditional singleplex antibody-based immunoassays is that they quantify only one analyte at a time. In comparison, multiplex assays offer the possibility of obtaining more reliable quantitative information in a highly parallel analysis.

Novel molecular methods to detect or quantify DNA better than PCR
TechID: BSB10_0915
TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
PCR is a powerful tool for gene expression analysis, viral load monitoring, genotyping, and many other applications, including direct sequencing, genomic cloning, DNA typing, detection of infectious microorganisms, site-directed mutagenesis, prenatal genetic disease research, and analysis of allelic sequence variations. Despite its huge popularity, PCR has certain limitations as a method for selectively cloning specific DNA sequences, especially when considering samples that are extremely small, compromised, or contain a miniscule amount of genetic material.
