Biotin Protein Ligase as Protein: DNA Connecting System
Ec BirA is a new protein:DNA linking system and JCU's proof-of-concept application in quantitative immuno‑PCR (qIPCR). This technology can also be used to create bispecific antibodies.
Novel Drug Targets & Cell Line for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with very poor survival and is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. New and innovative therapies for HCC are urgently required.
Hyperstable Vaccines
Technology platform for vaccine design useful for multiple indications in infectious diseases, cancer, & autoimmunity. Proof of concept demonstrated with a potentially universal oral influenza vaccine candidate.
Dendritic Cell Immunomodulator Screening Assay
The screening platform identifies compounds that modulate dendritic cell function, for drug discovery in cancer immunotherapy, autoimmunity, allergies, infectious diseases & transplant rejection.
Wound Healing Peptide
Poor wound healing after trauma, surgery, acute illness, or chronic disease conditions affects millions of people worldwide each year. It is critical to develop a better wound dressing material that can promote local tissue regeneration.
Genome-based Malaria Vaccine
Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasitic infection caused by Plasmodia. There are five species that cause the disease, of which P. falciparum and P. vivax are considered the greatest threat. There is a global public health need for a vaccine.
Zinc & Copper Biosensor
Researchers have developed a low cost, easy to use fluorescence-based Zinc & Copper sensing reagent that can be deployed on a real-time thermal cycler.
