We are developing a promising new technology based on extracellular vesicles (EVs, often referred to as exosomes), which are natural delivery vehicles produced by cells. These tiny particles have the potential to transform how we treat diseases by delivering therapeutic ingredients directly to where they’re needed in the body. To bring this technology to market […]

This project focuses on developing a novel triboelectric sensor to improve the efficiency and reliability of industrial processes specifically in gas-phase polyethylene production. In these reactors, plastic particles often accumulate electrostatic charge during operation, leading to dangerous buildups that can cause the formation of solid “sheets,” resulting in costly unplanned shutdowns. The goal of this […]
