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.
Stanford researchers have designed hydrogels that can be delivered to surgical sites in a patient's body for controlled and sustained release of bacteriophages to treat or prevent bacterial infections.
Stanford inventors have developed a rapid fluorogenic assay for screening of lactam resistant bacterial pathogens. ?-lactam antibiotics are considered to be the most successful class of antibiotics for treating bacterial infections.
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.
Stanford researchers have developed a new transcatheter, minimally invasive neochordal device for repair of mitral regurgitation, which does not require open heart surgery nor cardiopulmonary bypass.
Inspired by the "last inch" problem in robotic manipulation, the Kennedy group at Stanford has developed a tactile sensor and calibration method for machine-learning-based robotic manipulation.
Stanford researchers at the Ferrara Lab have developed a volumetric ultrasound imaging that uses a motion controller to realize 3D imaging. This invention introduces a new transducer architecture with significantly improved image resolution.
