Biomaterial therapy for healing brain tissue after ischemic stroke
Unmet Need Ischemic stroke affects 692,000 patients annually in the United States, and can result in paralysis and complications related to cognition and motor function. After a stroke, scarring and atrophy can occur at the…
Enzymatic synthesis of aptamer-targeted polynucleotide drug delivery platforms for cancer therapy
Unmet Need In the United States alone, over 1.8 million new patients were diagnosed with cancer in 2021, and over 600,000 patients died from the disease. Cytostatic nucleotides, such as gemcitabine and 5-fluorouracil, have been…
A class of biodegradable stealth polymers to improve drug delivery
Unmet Need Delivery of drugs or therapeutics such as small molecules, peptides, and proteins, in their native form, is limited by their poor stability, low solubility, and short in vivo circulation. These challenges in drug…
A bio-based method for producing adipic acid by using an enzyme to selectively convert 2-oxoadipate to (R)-2-hydroxyadipate
Unmet Need Adipic acid (1,4-butanedicarboxylic acid; COOH(CH2)4COOH), is among the most-produced chemicals worldwide, with approximately 2.5 billion kilograms synthesized annually and a global market of 8 billion USD. The most typical use for adipic acid…
Sublingual immunization using supramolecular peptide-polymer conjugate tablets
Value proposition Immunization with vaccines prevent illness, disability, and currently avert an estimated 2 to 3 million deaths every year. However, commonly-used vaccine technology platforms can be unpredictable, require a high manufacturing cost, and often…
Increasing the half-life of therapeutic proteins and peptides using elastomeric-like polypeptides with environmental sensitivity
Value Proposition Since insulin was used as the first therapeutic protein in a clinical setting, the field of protein therapeutics has rapidly expanded. From 2014-2018, therapeutic proteins had the highest compound annual growth rate of…
Unstructured non-repetitive polypeptides as a tool for imparting temperature-dependent physical properties to protein fusions
Value Proposition Proteins can be useful therapeutic agents when engineered for specificity and selectivity for a clinical target. Their complexity, versatility, tolerability, and diversity often make them superior alternatives to small molecule drugs, and the…
