Methods and compositions to sense m6A RNA modifications using a genetically encoded sensor

Methods and compositions to sense m6A RNA modifications using a genetically encoded sensor

Unmet Need Gene expression is highly regulated through the addition of chemical modifications to RNA molecules. One such modification is methylation of adenosine residues to form m6A, a modified nucleotide which is found in thousands…

A highly sensitive next-generation sequencing technique for detecting cancerous mutations

A highly sensitive next-generation sequencing technique for detecting cancerous mutations

Unmet Need Next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods have been widely adopted for both biological discovery and diagnostics in cancer patient care. In particular, the identification of new mutations or groups thereof arising within oncogenic pathways across…

Breast cancer risk prediction technology using genomic classifier

Breast cancer risk prediction technology using genomic classifier

Unmet Need The earliest form of breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), is diagnosed in almost 50,000 people in the U.S. each year. DCIS is considered noninvasive, as abnormal cells have not spread out…

Novel epigenome editors for multiplexed gene regulation

Novel epigenome editors for multiplexed gene regulation

Unmet Need Epigenome editors activate or inhibit gene expression without modifying the underlying DNA sequence. Consequently, these editors can reversibly fine-tune gene expression without the risk of permanently altering the genome or off-target editing. Epigenome…

A novel acoustic biomarker for quality of life in LVAD recipients

A novel acoustic biomarker for quality of life in LVAD recipients

Unmet Need Left ventricular devices (LVADs) are surgically implanted pumps that improve survival in patients with advanced heart failure. According to St. Judes, in the U.S. in 2016, over 7% of LVAD users reported poor…

Screening method to identify lead compounds to treat hereditary neurological disorders and other diseases associated with MutSβ activity

Screening method to identify lead compounds to treat hereditary neurological disorders and other diseases associated with MutSβ activity

Unmet Need The human genome is constantly under the threat of DNA damage and replication errors that can result in mutations. A heterodimer of DNA mismatch repair proteins named MutSβ has been linked to a…

Rapid immunoassay to detect anti-EGFRviii levels to evaluate vaccine efficacy

Rapid immunoassay to detect anti-EGFRviii levels to evaluate vaccine efficacy

Value Proposition Tumor-specific molecules offer the possibility of targeted cancer therapy using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specifically directed against the tumor-specific molecule. However, it has proven difficult to identify tumor-specific molecules. Overexpression of EGFR in human…
