For Industry & Investors

Biotechnology

A novel tissue repair technology developed at the University of New South Wales presents a tremendous licensing opportunity for a company with existing expertise in the tissue repair and wound healing sector.

UNSW scientists have developed a proprietary laser activated polysaccharide adhesive system that has been demonstrated in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. This polysaccharide adhesive system is an alternative to albumin solders and other biological glues, and alleviates many of their associated disadvantages.

Versatile Drug Carriers for Improved Drug Formulation and Delivery

Cucurbiturils (Qs) are a family of rigid, chemically and thermally robust container molecules that are superior to cyclodextrins.
Qs are self-assembling, macrocyclic compounds that are synthesized from the acid catalysed condensation of formaldehyde with glycoluril.
Qs resemble open-ended barrels, providing a hydrophobic cavity with different modes of binding. The variety of sizes available (Q5 to Q10) and their hollow structure provide a wide range of possible applications as carriers for absorption or delivery of guest molecules in a number of different environments.
