Motion-Guided Deep Image Prior (M-DIP) for Dynamic Image Reconstruction in Cardiovascular MRI
TS-069527 — The Need
Cardiovascular MRI (CMR) data acquisition is often time-consuming and relies on complex reconstruction methods that do not fully exploit the spatial and temporal structure of CMR data. There is a need for a more efficient, unsupervised approach that can accelerate CMR imaging while maintai…

Transducin β-like protein 1 X-Linked Selective Degraders as Anti-cancer Therapeutics
TS-062685 — Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or nearly one in six deaths. The most common cancers are breast, lung, colon and rectum and prostate cancers.
The Need
Current cancer treatments mainly rely on chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and bon…

Dual Androgen Receptor/AKR1C3 Inhibitors for Prostate Cancer
TS-062605 — The Need:
Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) poses a significant challenge in oncology, with existing therapies often leading to resistance and disease progression. Key drivers of resistance include the androgen receptor (AR) and aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (AKR1C3). Novel treat…

Rabbit Model for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
TS-058084 — A rabbit model has been created for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) that more closely resembles the effects experienced in humans while being more cost effective compared to larger animal models.
There has yet to be a DMD animal model that bridges the gap between cost effectiveness and scientific relevance. This new rabbit model does that.
DMD is a lethal genetic disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and muscle wasting. There are several animal models for DMD, includin…

An improved base editor (iABE-NG) for correcting genetic diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy
TS-049505 — An engineered base editor (iABE-NG) that uses an SpCas9 variant, a shortened adenine deaminase domain with eliminated RNA off-target activity, and an intein split for packaging into an adeno-associated virus (AAV), resulting in gene mutation correction.
There are thousands of monogenic diseases that are lacking effective therapeutic treatments. The main bottleneck in developing effective treatment is the ability to effectively edit gene while controlling for the myriad of off-target effects that come with targeting the genome. Duchenne Muscular D…

Automated Detection of Tumor Budding in Colorectal Cancer
TS-039267 — A non-invasive and automated tumor budding image analysis system for colorectal cancer. This program can detect tumor buds in traditional H&E stained sections without the need for manual assessment.
Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States. With a survival rate of less than 65%, early detection and treatment are key factors in survival. Tumor budding, associated with higher tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, and decreased disease-free survival, has e…

Perivascular Drug Delivery Nanoplatform for Preventing Restenosis After Open Surgery
TS-039004 — Pericelle: a nanoparticle based perivascular drug delivery system to prevent stenosis and failure in vascular reconstruction surgeries.
Imaging and re-intervention procedures, necessary to maintain open blood vessels following vascular reconstruction surgery, are expensive. For example, the cost of maintenance for an arteriovenous (AV) fistula used in hemodialysis access has been estimated at $15,000/year. In bypass and AV fistula…

Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis with Small Molecule IL-6/STAT3 Inhibitors
TS-038701 —
Small-molecule prodrugs that target IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS), an unpredictable and disabling autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, is the leading cause of non-traumatic neurological disability in young adults. There have been important advances in MS therapy, such as drugs that slow the progression of the disease a…

Novel Small-Molecule Integrin-linked Kinase/Phosphoinositide-dependent Protein Kinase-2 Inhibitors
TS-037647 — A novel set of molecules that inhibit integrin-linked kinase in order to suppress tumor cell growth and metastasis.
The Akt signaling pathway is responsible for apoptosis, cell proliferation, and metabolism. In tumor cells, this pathway is up-regulated and aids in promoting cancer cell survival. Complete activation of Akt pathway requires phosphorylation at two amino-acid residues, which are phosporylated by se…
