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.
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.
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.
Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation have a complete cleft of the secondary palate and die within 12 hours of birth. Heterozygotes are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities.
Stanford researchers in the Kanan Lab have patented a low-cost, portable, and easy-to-use device designed to rapidly detect elevated ammonia levels from a drop of blood.
Stanford researchers at The Lee Lab have discovered a novel epidermal tumor suppressor to treat squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) by utilizing existing drug therapies.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a magnetophoretic separation device (MSD) for isolating basophils and other rare cell types from a blood sample. The device applies exponentially increasing magnetic field strength to flowing magnetically tagged cells.
