Stanford researchers at the Salisbury Robotics Lab have prototyped a wearable, articulated robotic device with patented four-state brake modules that can be attached to a person at the hip or other location to augment human task productivity.
The Rai1-Tag knock-in allele expresses a FLAG/myc-tagged RAI1 (Rai1-Tag) before Cre recombinase exposure. Cre-mediated deletion of the floxed FLAG-myc-STOP sequence results in expression of RAI1/EGFP fusion protein (Rai1EGFP).
Researchers in Dr. Craig Criddle's lab have developed a method for enriching microorganisms with high poly(3-hydroxy)butyrate (PHB) production in non-sterile mixed culture conditions.
Disease indication - Chemo- and radiation therapy resistant cancer, such as ovarian cancer, head and neck cancer (HNC), lung cancer, glioblastoma multiforme and breast cancer.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a device to monitor environmental exposure in personal (wearable) or public (stationary) settings. Human health can be viewed as the interactive outcome between inherited traits and environmental risks.
Stanford researchers in Zhenan Bao and Yi Cui's labs have developed an organic redox mediator that could make Lithium Sulfur batteries charge faster with less energy.
Stanford researchers have developed a Data-driven Urban Energy Benchmarking (DUE-B) methodology that uses readily available building energy consumption data to help municipalities design and develop energy efficiency policies and programs.
Disease indication - HIV infection, specifically reversal of viral latency alone or in combination with other latency reversal agents to improve reservoir targeting.
Researchers at Stanford and their colleagues have developed easily expressed Wnt agonist and antagonists. Wnts are central mediators of development as they influence cell proliferation, differentiation and migration.
Stanford researchers have developed an improved method of distinguishing live and dead cells using mass cytometry, a next-generation form of flow cytometry.
Researchers in the Khuri-Yakub laboratory have developed patented two dimensional (2D) capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) arrays and methods for fabricating them with direct wafer bonding.
Stanford researchers at the Swartz Research Group have engineered an Iron-Iron (Fe-Fe) hydrogenase with as high as 5-fold enhancement in O2 tolerance by introducing cysteine mutations around the electron supply pathway within the enzyme.
Stanford researchers successfully manufactured high quality optical components using commercially available 3D printing. The 3D printed optics were easy to fabricate and inexpensive.
Stanford researchers have developed a lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticle (UCNP) that emits very photostable and non-blinking light, and is bright enough to delineate tumor boundaries to the naked eye during surgery.
