PulseLab: An Integrated and Expandable Toolbox for Pulse Wave Velocity-base Blood Pressure Estimation
Invention Summary:
Cuff-less blood pressure (BP) estimation methods have been long pursued as substitutions for the conventional BP measurement methods to facilitate continuous and automatic monitoring of BP. The PWV (pulse wave velocity)-BP models, describing the relationship between the PWV and the BP, have been derived and used in recent...

Method for Generating Memory T-cells In Vitro and Their Use in Immunotherapy
Invention Summary:
Dendritic cell-based immunotherapies have been tested for the treatment of cancer patients with limited success. The limited success is probably due to the ineffective activation of specific T-cells by injected dendritic cells. In vitro generation of memory T-cells that can respond to cancer cells could circumvent ineffective...

dCas9 Protein Allele Sequestration for Improved CRISPR Gene Editing
Invention Summary:
CRISPR technology is widely used in research to edit genes
in animals and cell lines and is moving towards therapeutic use in the clinic. Inherent to almost all methods employed in gene editing is the lack of control in target gene usage. A method to direct cleavage of only a single target within a cell would be beneficial to research...

Multilayer Stackable Tissue Culture Platform for 3D Co-Culture
Invention Summary:
In a native tissue inside an animal, different types of cells co-exist and communicate with one another through the surrounding microenvironment using chemical and mechanical signaling. The lack of technology to recreate such a microenvironment in in vitro models results in either under or over prediction of results using conventional...
