A Novel Method of Generating Live-Attenuated, Replication-Defective DNA Viruses for Vaccine Development

The long-term goal of this project is to develop a vaccine using centanamycin for DNA viruses where no drug or vaccine is available. Our study offers an attractive opportunity to develop chemically-attenuated live viruses as vaccines for the prevention and treatment of DNA viral infections.

Magnetic Nanoparticle-Assisted Non-Viral CRISPR-Cas9 for Advanced Genome Editing

One of the most critical hurdles to developing CRISPR-based therapies for genetic disorders is the lack of effective delivery systems. To this end, this project aims todevelop a next-generation CRISPR delivery solution for fast and effective genome editing that supports the need for the CRISPR-based drug development market.

Cellularized Nerve Remediation Graft (CNRG)

The proposed technology will repair peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) by utilizing a biodegradable biopolymer scaffold enclosing a hydrogel-peptide matrix-based 3Dsystem combined with cultured autologous human cells to augment nerve growth once implanted.

A New Tuberculosis Drug Targeting KasA

Tuberculosis is characterized by 10 million cases and 1.5 million deaths per year. New drugs are needed to reduce treatment duration and to treat drug-resistant infections. We propose a solution based on our preclinical drug lead (JSF-3285) that inhibits the essential ß-ketoacyl synthase and exhibits promising efficacy and safety profiles.

Small Molecule MIF Inhibitors for the Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

We have identified potent small molecule MIF inhibitors that reduce inflammation-associated cytokines in blood cell and mouse assays, and simultaneously exhibit favorable drug likeness properties including oral availability. They hold promise for the treatment of human inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

Surface Functionalization Against Microbial Infections and Biofilms

The prevention of microbial adhesion and biofilm formation on medical device/tissue interfaces is an urgent and unmet need. Thi surface functionalization technology, which is specifically effective in preventing biofilm formation on medical devices, such as implants, aims to address this critical healthcare problem.
