Malaria transmission blocking using ELQ-infused bed nets

Summary Insecticide-treated mosquito bed nets reduce the transmission of malaria, but mosquitos have developed resistance to insecticides leading to reduced efficacy. Our new technology is a chemical solution for mosquito nets that kills malaria, is less prone to drug-resistance and is not toxic to humans. Technology Overview Insecticide-treated...

Inhibitors of cancer-mediated bone destruction

Summary Current drugs for bone metastases merely prevent and slow the breakdown of bone, but are ineffective in slowing the spread of cancer. The current technology is a dual-acting bone defender (DABD), which acts to prevent bone destruction while simultaneously attacking cancer’s ability to spread. Technology Overview In many cancers, especially...
