The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to improve personalized cancer care by developing a first in class cancer diagnostic instrument that can deliver clinically actionable, personalized, drug response data from individual cancer patients using the E-slice assay.The E-slice assay is a novel 3D culture-based assay which has been ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment.Cancer affects millions of Americans and people worldwide. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) reports that the number of new cancer cases will reach 30 million by 2040, representing an enormous cost to American society and the economy. There is a ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is improved automotive transportation safety, usability, and equity for the general public which reduces the annual 5,300 fatalities, 418,000 injuries, and billion-dollar losses from inclement weather crashes in the United States. The technology identifies the driving lane using camera data processing i ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to reduce the negative environmental impacts of rare earth element (REE) production through the development of a clean, sustainable system for REE extraction and purification using biology. Such a system would allow for affordable, low-impact REE production in the United States which, in turn, would ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a novel system for treating Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), a clot in the patient’s deep veins or pulmonary arteries which blocks blood flow, in a more effective manner. Each year 1.2 million Americans are affected by VTE resulting in 100,000 deaths, $10 billion of direct medical costs, and ...

The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is in developing improved assessment tools and as a result, improved knowledge about muscle health and strength training.The Center for Disease Control (CDC) data shows that 76 million people in the US do strength training consistently and meet exercise requirement standards.The social and he ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the development of a next generation biomanufacturing platform that could redefine the nature of protein building blocks and become a major driver of US innovation and economic growth. By engineering new microbial organisms and their associated cellular machinery, this technology may enable ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be to develop methods to facilitate the efficient, reproducible insertion of large DNA segments into stable locations on bacterial vectors, viral and non-viral shuttle vectors, and the chromosomes of prokaryotic and eukaryotic host cells comprising novel target sequences plus helper and donor vectors that cou ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is technology to improve the efficiency of building energy consumption. Windows account for about 30% of building energy losses and 7% of US carbon emissions. Vacuum insulated glass (VIG) windows are 4-5 times more insulating than a typical double-pane glass windows and are almost as insulatin ...

The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to develop machine learning-powered actors (ML actors) that facilitate social encounters between friends, strangers, classmates, and coworkers in user-generated spaces across the Metaverse. The shift towards virtual work, learning, and socialization has been accompanied by significant soci ...
