Project Summary/Abstract There has been a shift to greater use of neadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in the clinical management of cancer. Often used in breast cancer to provide systemic treatment for possible or apparent metastatic disease, NACT also reduces the primary tumor size and facilitates breast conservation. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) is an effective diagnostic for monito ...

Project Summary/Abstract: As stated in the Notice of Special Interest announcement, there is a need to populate the recently established MPS database with existing data generated by organ-on-a-chip systems. Having a centralized, public database with data from all available MPS systems will accelerate development and acceptance of the technology ultimately bringing better therapies to patients fast ...

PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of this project is to complete the preclinical development of Elex Biotechandapos;s novel compounds that target and treat the underlying molecular cause of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) CPVT. There are no FDA-approved treatments for CPVT, a rare genetic disorder affecting 1/10,000 individuals, with typical onset in children 7-9 years of age a ...

Compatibility between Brain-Computer Interface and High Efficiency Augmentative and AlternativeCommunication Systems: Phase II ABSTRACT Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) enable text production for people who cannot move, but have only simple communication interfaces and are not widely used. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems are widely used and give efficient and precise commun ...

Researchers are identifying new biomarkers to help monitor cognition and stress in the human body and enhance human performance. Traditional biomarkers like heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, electrolyte concentration, etc have bee

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 ...

The Video-Compression using Robust, Adaptive, Multiple Methods, and Innovative Techniques (V-CRAMMIT) project is a Second Phase II effort that continues developing, demonstrating, and fielding innovative compression solutions while expanding into the vide

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration. Many medications and materials are or will soon

Project SummaryThe goal of this proposal, at the end of the Phase II effort, is to have a service available to academia and industry to screen drugs for Alzheimer’s to predict patient outcomes and determine how potential therapeutics are delivered to the CNS. There are currently few companies able to offer multi-organ evaluation with a recirculating medium utilizing functional readouts, and none ...
