One of the largest challenges for soft robotics is obtaining adequate feedback control while forming dexterous movements. Here Stanford researchers have developed a patterning technique using a UV laser on metalized plastic film.
Stanford researchers have designed an oncolytic virus that replicates only within cells that are driven by hyperactive biochemical signals, such as constitutively active kinases driving and maintaining tumors, which can minimize off-target activity and support higher dosing.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a rapid and efficient method for high-throughput genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9. The CRISPR/Cas9 system allows researchers to edit any site in an organism's genome.
Stanford inventors have developed technologies for improved islet transplantation using a bioscaffold platform that maintains islet health during and after their transplantation.
Wastewater treatment facilities commonly add chlorine or chloramines at the end of treatment as a final disinfectant. While effective, any wastewater must be dechlorinated before release to prevent killing aquatic organisms.
Stanford inventors have developed technologies for improved islet transplantation using a bioscaffold platform that maintains islet health during and after their transplantation.
A Stanford bioengineering researcher developed an optical sensor based muscle and body motion tracking system for use with prosthetics and wearable human machine interfaces.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a probe, NIRDye812, which improves contrast between healthy and diseased tissues for fluorescence-guided cancer surgery applications.
Stanford inventors have developed a wearable breath-based non-invasive sampler capable of collecting large quantities of exhaled viruses & pathogens over prolonged periods of time.
A team of Stanford researchers has invented a product that can be used to provide relief to patients with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), with a particular focus on palmar hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the hands).
Bioengineers in Prof. Stephen Quake's laboratory have developed an energy efficient, on-chip valve system for automated, multiplexed fluid control in a portable, low-cost microfluidics devices.
