Evergreens
Evergreens technology allows farmers to grow food closer to the consumers, reducing the carbon footprint and making it a more sustainable option. They do not use any soil and minimize human-product interaction throughout the process.
Human cell and Bacteria Nanoparticles
Use of pathogenic bacteria-standard and antibiotic-resistant phenotype — for the production of selenium nanoparticles with antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant properties.
Hypoxia Inducing Cryogels
Current technologies either hamper flexibility in cell culture experimentation or are so costly that laboratories do not implement them. To address this gap in a growing market, we developed inexpensive and easy-to-produce hypoxia-inducing cryogels (HICs), biomaterial-based capsules that rapidly deplete oxygen when added to any glucose-containing aqueous environment. This allows scientists to reliably complete any cell culture experiment in a hypoxic milieu at a reasonable cost.
Nomix
Nomix’s solution is a patient recruitment, profiling, matching, and enrollment platform. They use an at-home blood collection kit to acquire genomic data from RNA Seq. Network medicine algorithms use this data to predict disease and drug response. Their digital phenotyping app allows us to understand patient behaviors. Then they use this information to build a patient profile and match patients to clinical trials.
Venova Technologies — IUD
New contraceptive device that will achieve the long-acting reversible goals of IUDs but will be non-hormonal and nonpharmacologic.
Hope to see you at NEXPO to celebrate Northeastern’s up and coming entrepreneurs!
