Stanford researchers have patented a photosynthetic system using a cyanobacterium solution that can be delivered to ischemic tissues, where blood flow is insufficient. This addresses a major clinical problem for patients with heart and vascular diseases.
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.
Stanford researchers have patented the "Wolverine," a mobile, wearable haptic device designed for simulating the grasping of rigid objects in virtual reality.
Researchers in Stanford's Nanoscale Prototyping Laboratory have developed a low-temperature process for fabricating etch-resistant, pinhole-free spacer dielectrics a few nanometers thick.
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 patented a crystalline germanium nanostructure device and method of forming a continuous polycrystalline Ge film (5-500nm thick poly-Ge) with crystalline Ge islands of preferred orientation.
Stanford researchers have proposed a new concept for direct measurement of specific absorption ratio (SAR), to be used as a safety assessment / monitoring tool for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
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.
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.
Patient motion during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a significant source of image degradation and artifacts. This invention addresses this limitation in MRI.
Stanford researchers in the CamLab have patented a robust, task-space closed-loop controller for continuum manipulators that can be used in constrained environments and does not rely on a model.
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.
