Researchers at Stanford have developed a mouse model of psoriasis that closely mimics human psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by itchy, disfiguring skin lesions.
Researchers in Prof. Christina Smolke's laboratory have engineered an architecture for a sensitive, robust RNA device that can control gene expression through fast-acting tertiary interactions with a range of ligands.
Stanford researcher Paul Norman has developed an integrated capture/next-gen sequencing/ bioinformatics method to completely characterize the structure and sequence of the highly polymorphic killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes to aid in donor matching for clin
Stanford researchers have designed a powerful plasmonic coaxial aperture as a low-power optical trap for nanosized specimens, a regime that is inaccessible with the other designs.
Stanford virologists have developed a quantitative and sensitive assay to detect chikungunya virus (CHIKV). In addition, it may be multiplexed with assays for other pathogens to detect and differentiate CHIKV infection.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel tomographic technique, cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopic tomography, to probe optical properties in 3D with nanometer-scale spatial and spectral resolution.
ChiRP (“Chromatin Isolation through RNA Purification”) is a patented RNA “interactomics” technique developed in Prof. Howard Chang's laboratory to capture and identify DNA, RNA or protein molecules that interact with any RNA of interest in a cell.
Stanford University and Samsung researchers have patented a microfluidic-based platform that can rapidly fabricate and characterize Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) arrays composed of solution-processable organic semiconducting polymers.
Researchers in Prof. Mark Kay's laboratory have continued to develop novel recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) capsids via capsid gene shuffling that transduce human hepatocytes at high efficiency in vivo.
Stanford inventors have developed a method that allows for simultaneous 3D imaging with high resolution by using a multifunctional metalens to replace the conventionally used microlens array in light-field imaging.
Stanford researchers at the Sattely Lab have discovered six podophyllotoxin biosynthetic genes and their polypeptide products from the plant, Podophyllum hexandrum (mayapple).
The standard treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) is poorly tolerated and ineffective in a large subset of HCV patients. Scientists at Stanford and UCSF have developed new therapeutic leads for HCV that also have potential to be broad-spectrum anti-infectives.
An interdisciplinary team of Stanford University researchers have developed a novel interpenetrating polymer network hydrogel that is useful for a wide variety of medical, industrial and personal hygiene applications.
W.E. Moerner and Adam Cohen have patented the Anti-Brownian ELectrokinetic trap (ABEL trap) which can trap, measure, and manipulate sub-micron objects (e.g. single molecules) in solution at ambient temperature.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a fast adaptive optics system for scanning, 3D imaging and sensing with a small (50 µm) multimode fiber (MMF).
