Biofilm Repelling Catheter technology -Company looking for partnersInnoventions a privately owned medical device incubator in Israel is developing several technologies (www.innoventions-med.com). One of these is a novel biofilm repelling technology. This was used for creating a urethral catheter for reducing (hopefully for preventing) Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) which cause 13,000 deaths in the USA each year. Their preliminary work showed that using their material (known/ approved biomaterial) , they could prevent biofilm forming on balloons immersed in infected urine and also on balloons inserted into the bladder of non-infected patients (up to 3 months). They are interested to further develop the devices with partners based on this technology for catheter and other medical applications (also in non-medical applications such as on surfaces of open water reservoirs, water based liquid carrying pipes, water heaters etc.) and bring them to the market.

Biogas dryer. For biogas water vapor removingBiolimp-Dryer. This technology combines the cooling and condensation techniques, allowing to achieve elimination efficiency of over 95% with low operating costs (OPEX). This equipment has two kinds of cooling techniques: thermal cooling and mechanical cooling and other devices that improve the water vapor removal. This can include a heat recovery, which in addition to minimizing the energy needs of the operation, allows to wash off the biogas with its own condensates, which produces a partial reduction of the H2S and NH3, that accompany the biogas, the reason why it can be considered a multipurpose technology. The vertical position of the heat exchanger allows the best draining of the condensate and avoids condensate freezing when working at low temperatures. The technology is fully automatization

Biologic Drug for prevention and treatment of COVID-19Combat against COVID-19 is still ongoing worldwide. Despite the great advancements in the realm of vaccine development, there is still a great need for efficient medications to treat the disease, especially in vulnerable populations (such as elderly people and subjects with background illnesses). A common strategy in drug development against COVID?19 is inhibiting the binding of the viral Spike protein to the cellular ACE2 receptor, which facilitates the virus's entrance to the cells. While many attempts focus on blocking the viral Spike protein, this strategy is sensitive to viral mutations, making it less efficient. The teams of Profs. Schreiber and Rudich developed a stable protein that binds the ACE2 receptor at ultra?high affinity (pM), effectively blocking viral infection without affecting the natural activity of the receptor. The protein can be administered through inhalation and can be combined with other potential anti-COVID-19 drugs such as interferon-?.

Biological control of pests: breeding protocol for Sphaerophoria rueppellii for use in biological control of aphidsMembers of CIBIO Research Institute, led by Professor Maria Angeles Marcos Garcia, head of the Associated Unit to CSIC, have developed a method to raise the dipterans predator Sphaerophoria rueppellii. This insect is known for its efficiency and high specificity predatory sirphid being more suitable as biological control agent against agricultural pests from aphids in a Mediterranean climate crops. The use of this natural enemy for biological control of pests will reduce pesticide use in both agricultural crops and in urban gardens. Have been optimized environmental conditions for breeding, such as diet (both immature and adult stages) to ensure a higher reproductive potential and higher rates of survival. The group is looking for companies interested in acquiring the technology for commercial exploitation. Innovative aspects 1- The only species of industrially produced sirphid (Episyphus balteatus) does not effectively control aphid pests in Mediterranean cultures, this is why the selection of another species of sirphid to act as a viable alternative in the field Mediterranean was needed. The novelty of this specie is that and in most cases of biological control, using species that are commercially available, or not part of the fauna, in this case, we have managed to breed the species in field trials, proved to have the greatest potential for control. 2- This is the first time that this predator specie is bred in the laboratory and maintain continuously during successive generations breeding in significant amounts from individuals. 3- Due to the invention has been developed by a consolidated research group, it will be applied a Quality Control (under the rules of the International Organisation for Biological and Integrated Control), to ensure the viability and product quality

Biomarkers for the early detection of subclinical atherosclerosisOne of the main problems of atherosclerosis disease is that it is diagnosed too late. Primary prevention is currently based on the evaluation of modifiable risk factors according to standardized recommendations. There is a need to find new biomarkers for subclinical atherosclerosis, which are independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and scores. CNIC, UAM and IIS-FJD researchers have discovered a panel of proteins, which are accumulated in the atheroma plaques themselves even in their earliest stages of formation. Moreover, the plasma abundance levels of these proteins could be used to predict the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis. Diagnosis/biotech companies are sought for a license agreement.

Biometric identification system based on eye blinkingThe Optics and Vision Sciences research group at the University of Alicante has developed a method for biometric authentication by recognizing the blinking of a subject. The method consists of studying and characterizing the changes in the intensity of diffused light during the blinking process. Those changes are used to classify the blinks using different algorithms. A subject can then be identified according to the parameters recorded. This method allows the authentication of subjects by means of a non-contact procedure, and even unconsciously. Commercial or built-in on mobile devices video cameras or webcams can be used for its application provided that the video is recorded at rates higher than 150 frames per second (fps). We are looking for companies interested in the commercial exploitation of this technology as well as in adapting it for the development of related projects.

Bioplastic technologyThe CSIR has developed a bioplastic technology for producing 100% biodegradable and compostable plastic. The technology enables single-use plastic products that, when they end up in landfills, bio-degrade within 180 days. The bioplastic products, when combined with organic waste, can turn into compost within 90 days, leaving no toxic residues. Bioplastics are a relatively new field within the South African plastics industry. As a result, landfills overflow with plastic bags and products from the household waste removal process. The CSIR’s bioplastic is made from plant-based materials to ensure that the disposed plastic waste in landfills is transformed from the biobased polymer into organic fertiliser. The development is a significant milestone for the CSIR in working towards environmental sustainability and a green economy for South Africa. “Our bioplastic technology is based on the use of biopolymers and agricultural waste by-products such as starch, cellulose and glycerol. Through smart use of additives, we have created unique formulations to modify the properties through a melt-processing technique. This has resulted in pellets which can be blown into films for carrier bags, kitchen waste bags, mulch films and packaging films, as well as rigid cutlery products,” says CSIR senior researcher Dr Sudhakar Muniyasamy. The technology can help those players in the agricultural, medical and hospitality industries who are looking for green methods of packaging. In this market, approximately 90% of packaging products are typically produced from petroleum-based chemicals which are often disposed of in natural environments after single or short-term use. “Our technology has been validated at an industrial manufacturing facility, and the pilot scale-testing for the production of the pellets and industrial-scale conversion process has been done for a specific product line,” adds Muniyasamy. As part of the commercialisation process, the CSIR is now working towards licensing the technology.- UACOOPERA University of Aveirouacoopera

Biopolymer-containing calcium phosphate foam for bone regenerationThe Challenge Hidroxyapatyte is a natural mineral found in teeth and bones. It is commonly used as a filler to regenerate bone or as a coating to promote bone growth. The application of calcium phosphate cements, which can form hydoxyapatite, in the treatment of bone defects, begun more than two decades ago and many formulations have been developed so far. The ideal bone replacing cement should be osteoconductive and osteoinductive, to stimulate bone regeneration. Moreover, it should be resorbable and gradually replaced by newly formed bone. Although most of the developed calcium phosphate cements are more resorbable than sintered hydroxypatite ceramics, they still show relatively slow resorption kinetics and in many cases the cement remains stable in the implanted site during years. The absence of interconnected macropores is indeed a limiting factor to achieve resorption. If the designed material has macropores, cells can colonize it and the access of osteoclasts is facilitated increasing the rate of healing of the bone defect.
