The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is seeking research co-development partners and/or licensees for NCI’s compositions and methods to enhance the efficacy of dendritic cell (DC)-based cancer vaccines.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a set of Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs) that target the γδ T-Cell Receptor.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks capable licensees interested in commercializing T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cells expressing murine/human hybrid receptors.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for development of papilloma-infiltrating lymphocytes (PIL) as treatment for patients with chronic human papillomavirus (HPV) 6 or 11 infections.
Lung metastases represent a major clinical challenge in advanced cancer, with poor survival rates and no effective therapies to prevent their development. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have developed C24:2, a first-in-class synthetic 3-O-sulfo-galactosylceramide analog. After lysosomal processing by dendritic cells, C24:2 switches immune specificity to activate type I NKT cells, triggering a potent IFN-γ–mediated Th1 response.
Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have discovered an invention describing a composition and method(s) of using such composition for preserving viability of cells, tissues, or organs at a low temperature (around 4ºC). Current cold storage solutions or methods for cells, tissues, and organs are suboptimal due to irreversible damage to cold-sensitive tissue or organ transplants that need a longer term of storage for facilitating clinical practices.
Since its emergence in 2019, COVID-19 infected over 600 million people and over 6 million people have died from the disease. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Neutralizing antibodies have been developed to bind to the receptor binding domain (RBD) on the spike (S) protein. Blocking the interaction of the RBD and the ACE2 receptor, is critical in neutralizing the virus. However, the S2 subunit, is also critical for viral infection and entry into human cells.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a novel humanized monoclonal antibody (58B3) that selectively targets a newly identified soluble Tissue Factor (sTF) to diagnose, prevent and treat pathological thrombosis associated with inflammation, viral/bacterial infection, sepsis and cancer – without affecting normal hemostasis.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the clinical translation of novel peptide-based therapeutic cancer vaccines derived from ERVMER34-1, a human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) antigen, offering a unique opportunity to address a significant unmet need in the treatment of various carcinomas.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a new series of photo-absorbing silicon-phthalocyanine derivatives (IR702HKT) for use in near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) in the treatment of cancer.
