The Bottom Feeder project is designed to prove out the research done in Phase I using a prototype platform. The prototype will be a full size version of the platform designed during Phase I. The Phase I platform was designed to work in two operational configurations, a highly efficient mode and a highly maneuverable mode, with the ability to switch between them while submerged. The platform is equ ...

To address the goals of developing ""predictive biomarkers of adverse reactions to radiation treatment""we propose to perform a multi site analytic validation of the product""metabolite panel kit""developed in the Phase I SBIR effortResults of plasma metabolite analysis in defined cohorts of patients treated with SBRT for prostate cancer will be tested for precisionaccuracy and reproducibility in ...

In the proposed Phase II studywe will further develop our PathMAPImmunotherapy test to address an unmet clinical need within the NSCLC patient populationWe hope to create a test that is able to accurately predict clinical response to PDPD Ltargeted immune checkpoint inhibitors alone and in combination with chemotherapiesOur development work in Phase II will be based on our initial work performed i ...

This application describes the commercialization of the Geodesic Transcranial Electrical Neuromodulation (GTEN) technology to achieve noninvasive neuromodulation with improved spatiotemporal precision. The GTEN system enables both EEG source analysis and configurable electrical neuromodulation with the 256 electrodes of the Geodesic Sensor Net. Now in beta release to selected research customers, t ...

Abstract Significance: Donor tissue shortage remains a critical problem in lung transplantation. Recent advances in tissue engineering have allowed for the possibility of generating bioengineered lungs from decellularized organ scaffolds. These scaffolds, created from the donor’s tissue, become functionalized after recellularization with a patient’s own cells. However, translation of whole-lun ...

Project SummaryGenome editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas9 provide a rapid, and targeted means of both knocking out gene expression and knocking in gene modifications. Since our initial Phase I submission, the utility of CRISPR technology has expanded beyond the generation of cell lines, to forward genetic screening, in vivo manipulation of gene expression and even human therapeutics. Phase I ...
