The discovery of CRISPR-based gene therapy methods using viral vectors, and SARS-CoV-2 vaccines based on lipid nanoparticle formulations has revolutionized the field of personalized medicine, and promises revolutionary applications for curing cancer, genetic disorders, and other diseases on the molecular level. To facilitate the validation of new therapies, biopharma companies use analytical ultra-centrifugation (AUC) to […]

Currently, over 95% of new anti-cancer drugs fail during clinical trials (1). Despite significant technological advances, drug development has become slower and more expensive. The root cause is that current preclinical cancer models, such as 2D cell layers and animal models, fail to accurately recreate human biology. This makes it very difficult to predict how […]

This project will focus on reinforcing biocomposite materials with a superhydrophobic plating to help improve the mechanical properties and industrial feasibility. Biocomposites are currently being widely researched because of their numerous advantages over materials traditionally used in manufacturing such as being easily recyclable, being made from materials which are found abundantly in nature, and having […]

The proposed project involves the use of a combination of two techniques i.e., rheology, confocal microscopy and image analysis, aimed at understanding the physics of bacterial cells at interfaces. Given the fact that the interactions and the interplay of forces are complicated at interfaces, the proposed study can provide significantly valuable insights into the dynamics […]

Cancer is associated with an accumulation of alterations in genes that confer the ability of cancer cells to grow uncontrollably. These alterations can contribute to increased deleterious function or loss of function of genes that normally regulate cell growth. Genes in our cells are organized on chromosomes which duplicate every time a cell divides. In […]

Surfactants are chemical compounds used as active ingredients in a large array of products, such as soaps and detergents. However, they can become pollutants and toxicants, and their production is not sustainable (derived from petrochemical processes). One attractive alternative is the use of biological surfactants from microbial origin. We have identified a promising new biosurfactants […]

We proposed a breath analyzer to identify viruses by utilizing an affordable fiber coupler. This sensor captures the optical absorbance spectrum, which contains the unique signatures of viruses present in the breath. The device is user-friendly: simply exhale into the analyzer to receive results. Our product addresses the traditional challenges of virus detection, eliminating high […]

Our project focuses on developing a bioprinting technology for treating severe burns. We aim to reduce scarring and enhance skin regeneration, which can significantly improve the lives of burn victims. This technology has the potential to make a big difference in the medical field, but it’s a challenging journey, especially due to the strict regulations […]

Nowadays, natural, sustainable, or environmentally friendly agriculture practices are becoming increasingly popular, where seaweed biostimulants could play a vital role in providing plant nutrition and responding against diseases, pests, and abiotic stresses. North Atlantic seaweeds have a high potential to be a candidate in the biostimulants market since they have a wide range of nutrients […]
