Drug discovery redefined

Technology Overview

An Organ-on-a-Chip device that recreates the micro-environment of the lymph node, which is the meeting point for immune cells in the human body. The chip is coupled with a computational platform that uses artificial intelligence to analyze immune cell behavior. The ultimate goal of the technology is to assess the effect of candidate drugs on the immune system in an in-vitro, physiologically-relevant environment that eliminates the need for animal testing and guarantees better performance during clinical trials.

Robotics-based approach for cardiac ablation

Technology Overview

This invention describes methods and systems for performing robotic ablation of cardiac tissues for the treatment of arrhythmias. The robot uses concentric tubes comprising compliant tubes that can deform by bending and twisting when rotated from their base. Elastic interactions between the tubes enable the surgeon to steer through hollow and liquid-filled cavities such as the arteries and veins within the body. The robot also facilitates optimal pseudo-constant contact forces with cardiac tissue, allowing superior contact with the tissue that will be ablated compared to traditional catheter-based methods.
