Recent advances in mammalian artificial chromosome design and engineering offer an alternative to existing methodologies for cellular bioengineering and address unmet needs to bioengineer more complex functionalities into human cells for subsequent commer

SI2 Technologies proposes to design, model, fabricate and transition wideband tunable multiferroic electronics for advanced RF systems including adaptive Radar, software defined radios and other electronic warfare (EW) applications. Combining novel nanost

Voltage tunable multiferroic materials with strong magnetoelectric coupling provide a unique approach to compact, lightweight and power efficient tunable RF/microwave multiferroic components, such as tunable inductors, filters, phase shifters, etc. The tu

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Ebola and Marburg viruses belong to the family Filoviridae and can cause fatal hemorrhagic fevers characterized by widespread tissue destruction with an incubation period of days Because of the safety concerns these viruses are designated as the biosafety level agents Currently there is no effective vaccine or therapeutic treatment against filoviral i ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Lassa fever virus LASV and Machupo virus MACV are hemorrhagic fever arenaviruses which are classified as Category A Agents Currently there are no licensed LASV or MACV vaccines and LASV MACV therapy is limited to use of the nucleoside analog ribavirin which is only partially effective and associated with significant side effects The impact of arenavirus ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant One of the challenges of research in infectious diseases is to find ways to use the increasing knowledge of the mechanisms underlying disease transformation and progression to develop novel therapeutic strategies for diseases such as increasing menace of bacterial infections Targeting specific RNA such as rRNA which are involved in proliferation and survival ...
