This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop a new general platform for preparing biosensors for a large number of target molecules. The target molecules for these biosensors will be the compounds (ligands) which regulate DNA binding activity of sequence-specific DNA binding… More

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will complete the development of biosensors for detection of heavy metals and acyl-CoA using sequence-specific DNA binding proteins. The presence of the target molecule will be reported by the biosensor as a change in fluorescence… More

Well established DNA array methodologies exist which permit highly… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Detection of the presence and the determination of the amount of a specific protein using various techniques utilizing antibodies specific to the target protein are one of the most important tools in biomedical research , medical diagnosis and detection of… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Detection and quantification of proteins in various biological samples is one of the most important and most often utilized assays with applications in research, medical diagnosis, early disease detection and detection of biological threat agents. While many… More

Biologic drugs are therapeutic medicinal products engineered from living cells or proteins. The novel introduction of these products has already had an enormous impact on some medical subfields, including rheumatology, cardiology, oncology, and others. Biologics are, however, very complicated to… More

Glycosylation changes are a universal feature of malignant transformation and tumor progression. Changes in expression levels of certain glycoproteins and altered glycosylation patterns have been detected in most of the major human cancer types and at different stages of tumor progression. The… More

According to the American Cancer Society, 192,370 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2010, leading to 40,170 deaths. Most women with breast cancer undergo surgery to remove the cancerous tissue and then receive additional treatment. Adjuvant therapy does not… More
