Pin-point Base Editing Platform for Single-Base Genome Editing in Vegetable Crops
Aptamer-mediated CRISPR base editing technology for precise single-nucleotide changes in vegetable crops. Achieves over 90% editing efficiency in mammalian cells and superior performance in plants compared to direct-fusi...
Engineered Water Nanostructures (EWNS): Nanotechnology-Based Antimicrobial Platform for Air and Surface Disinfection
EWNS is a nano-aerosol platform that delivers precise, targeted doses of antimicrobial active ingredients to inactivate airborne and surface pathogens. Validated against influenza H1N1, human coronavirus, E. coli, S. aur...
Engineering the chloroplast unfolded protein response to enhance heat stress tolerance in plants
A genetic engineering approach that leverages the chloroplast unfolded protein response (cpUPR) pathway to protect plants from abiotic stresses such as heat and drought. Overexpression of key cpUPR genes has been validat...
Controlled Effervescence Tablets with Tunable Disintegration and Moisture Resistance
A novel tablet technology that controls disintegration rate through engineered porosity, pore size, and CO2 content. By creating interpenetrating networks of soluble and insoluble components, the tablets deliver tunable ...
Biodegradable chitosan-cellulose coatings using green ionic liquid solvent
Novel natural coating dispersion combining chitosan nanoparticles with cellulose dissolved in glycine-choline ionic liquid. Offers biodegradable, non-toxic barrier coatings for paper and other substrates with tunable sur...
Novel enzymes enable point-of-care isothermal amplification of DNA/RNA pathogens
AmpliFast is a rapid isothermal nucleic acid amplification system using engineered recombinase enzymes to detect DNA/RNA pathogens at a single ambient temperature. Lyophilized enzyme and primer mixtures eliminate sample ...
Enhanced PTFE-free mold release via laser-textured silicone-coated molds
A novel mold release technology combining laser-textured microscale surface features with food-contact-approved non-PTFE silicone coatings to achieve PTFE-equivalent release performance for polymer thermoforming applicat...
Shellac-coated cellulose barrier materials via papermaking, electrospray, and laser processing
Advanced cellulose-based vapor barrier technology combining multi-scale fiber papermaking, self-limiting electrospray deposition of shellac, and laser-based surface processing. Enables tunable permeability, hydrophobic c...
Microprotein-based resistance to Fusarium trichothecenes for crop protection
Discovery platform leveraging novel microproteins that confer resistance to trichothecene mycotoxins produced by Fusarium graminearum. A yeast-derived microprotein provides full resistance to lethal doses, with plans to ...
Saniboost™ technology to improve the efficacy and prolong the activity of alcohol-based sanitizers
Proprietary Saniboost™ technology, developed by scientists at Rutgers University, uses a standardized, plant-derived formulation based on ingredients generally regarded as safe (GRAS) to enhance and prolong the effective...
