The project uses an AAV based antioxidative gene therapy to prevent occupational noise induced hearing loss in subjects utilizing ear protection and to prevent progressive hearing loss in subjects with established increases in auditory threshold.

A team of Rutgers researchers merged their ideas and technology with the support of research mentors to get the needed funds for developing a novel device capable of detecting the presence of viruses like SARS-CoV-2 in one’s breath.
This project will develop a biomedical technology called Immuno-Dx, whose value proposition lies in its ability to provide vital information about patients’ immune response to infections, and to fulfill unmet need for personalized diagnostics of septic patients in emergency department (ED) settings.
Our project aims to revolutionize peri-implantitis treatment by developing an innovative electrotherapy device designed to restore the passivation layer of titanium implants. By targeting the root cause of implant degradation and associated inflammation, we seek to enhance the longevity and success of dental implants and improve patient outcomes.
Rutgers researchers have developed an AI-based system to prevent iatrogenic ureteral injury in gynecologic and colorectal surgeries. The technology continuously tracks surgical instruments, providing real-time alerts or movement halts near the ureter. Platform-independent, it enhances intraoperative safety and surgeon control, reducing complications in complex cases with distorted anatomy.
Chlamydiae are common and important human pathogens. This HealthAdvance grant will apply a novel technology to develop a safe and effective life attenuated Chlamydia vaccine. Our vaccines will drastically reduce health and socioeconomic burdens of chlamydial diseases in women and men.
We have developed a novel, first-in-class GSX1 gene therapy that promotes the regeneration of spinal cord tissue, resulting in dramatic functional recovery in an animal model of spinal cord injury (SCI).
