Ligands for the Translocator Protein (18 kDa) (TSPO) 10459 Novel lead series of ligands for the Translocator Protein (18 kDa) for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders and neuroinflammation.

Other Therapeutics

Compounds for the Treatment of Iron Overload Disease 11008 Novel compounds have been designed to treat iron-overload disease that have superior pharmacological properties to current drugs.
Prevention of Neurotropic Virus Transport 11880 Novel antiviral target based on preventing transport of herpes simplex virus within a nerve cell.
Novel Anti-Fungal Agents 10460 Two novel classes of anti-fungal agents that have demonstrated broad spectrum of activity against fungal species with significantly improved properties over existing antifungal compounds

Diagnostics

Diagnostic test for the Prediction of Response to Pegylated Interferon Alpha 12342 We have identified a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to predict response to pegylated interferon alpha treatment for hepatitis C. This set of SNPs form the basis of a genetic test kit for the prediction of antiviral therapy using interferon alpha, and for other uses of interferon.
Rapid Tests for Disease Diagnoses 12112 The technology requires a drop of biological fluid, such as blood, from which fast and accurate pathology tests can be used to indicate the presence of certain specific diseases before clinical signs are apparent, or to differentiate diseases with similar clinical symptoms.
A Novel Method for the Quantitative Detection of Microorganisms 5733 An innovative and rapid approach to the quantitative and qualitative determination of bacterial load in any sample.
Novel Diagnostic Markers for Transmissible Pseudomonas Aeruginosa 11045 A diagnostic method for identifying transmissible Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Diagnosis of Latent Phase in Cytomegaloviral Infections 6453 A method of identifying latent phase Cytomegaloviral infections.

Platform Technologies

Peptide Ligation 12268 A novel ligation method for the synthesis of phosphopeptides and peptides, using serine or threonine residues to facilitate amide bond formation with a range of C-terminal thioesters.
High Expression System For Human Lysyl Oxidase 12128 An over expression system that provides for the efficient production of large amounts of the human lysyl oxidase protein.
Covalent Attachment of Bioactive Protein to Any Surface 10132 This technology enables the robust attachment of biomolecules, including enzymes, antibodies, structural proteins and synthetic polypeptides, to any underlying material, retaining biological activity.
Drug Screen for Anti-Malaria and other Anti-Parasitic Drugs 11066 A new phylum of easily cultured algae that can be used to develop and screen drugs that target apicoplasts, a known target for antiparasitic drugs.
Detection of HIV biogenesis 11165 REDOX sensitive method that can resolve detection of active replicating HIV to the cytosol of the infected cell.
Encapsulated Catalyst 10625 A method for placing various catalysts in nanocapsules, which protects the catalysts from harmful conditions and facilitates their recovery from reaction mixtures.
Demibodies 5871 A novel structural group of human chimeric antibodies that selectively kill diseased cells that express unique combinations of surface markers, similar to Domantis’ dual-targeting domain antibody (dAb) approach.
Novel Proteinases: Dipeptidyl Peptidases 8 and 9 (DPP8 and DPP9) 10578 Two new enzymes (DPP8 and DPP9) cloned and sequenced with multiple applications, including, selectivity screening of DPP-IV inhibitors.

Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery
