Predictive Kit to identify patients non responding to platinum therapy Predictive Kit to identify patients non responding to platinum therapy. 10 gene signature as a predictive biomarker for platinum treatment against different cancer types. The invention consists in quantifying the expression of 10 genes from tumor cells to detect patients eligible for platinum treatment at higher risk of developing drug resistance and disease progression. Drugs such as cisplatin, oxaliplatin and carboplatin are used to treat various types of worldwide common cancer, but resistance is a frequent event. Patient stratification based on tumor gene expression profile allows to personalize treatment reducing side effects and costs.

Method for diagnosing Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare and genetic disease in which a disorder in angiogenesis exists. A new method for the molecular diagnosis of this disease has been developed. It is based on the quantification of a set of microRNAs (miRNAs) transported by plasma exosomes, and in addition, this set allows diagnosing different variants of the disease. This new method has the advantage of providing new biomarkers that allow a rapid and reliable diagnosis of HHT, since the current methods are not valid for all the patients affected with HHT.

MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES FOR TEMPERATURE-CONTROLED MOLECULE AND CELL SEPARATION AND DETECTION Coated and functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for e.g. detection and separation of DNA and RNA, protein purification, cell separation and immunoassays, con-trolled by temperature. Contrary to state-of-art mag-netic nanoparticles presently used for separation, which always present a certain degree of aggregation, the present technology proposes nanoparticles with tem-perature-controlled magnetic response. The magnetic response of these new nanoparticles is suppressed at higher temperatures (tunable between 40°C and 100°C) avoiding aggregation and is enhanced at lower temperatures promoting separation.

GIANT MAGNETORESISTANCE (GMR) BASED MAGNETIC SENSORS AND SPEED SENSOR MODULE The MRA 1427/1426 magnetic sensor utilizes Giant magneto-resistive (GMR) technology, where highly sensitive unshielded GMR elements are configured in a form of single Wheatstone bridge. The Wheatstone bridge generates a differential output voltage with respect to magnetic field gradient along the sensor's sensitive direction. Each resistor has 45 kΩ nominal resistance and output of the bridge is purely ratiometric with the power supply voltage. Due to our unique technology and design, MRA 1427 is highly sensitive and has the ability to detect signals at the wide air gap. The excellent thermal and voltage stability makes it suitable for challenging environments. The MRA 1427 GMR sensor available in 8T-DFN package with dimensions 3 mm x 3 mm x 0.75 mm.

Emotongue: A software for every customer with a Smartphone (Android) interested in managing their own emotions and for companies interested in their employees’ emotional health SUMMARY Emotongue is an application for smartphones with the Android System, designed in Spanish and English, so that every customer who speaks one or both of them could easily use it every time and everywhere, having a data connection. Emotongue is not a simple app, it is the app that everybody was looking for! It had been designed for a research project carried out in the Department of Sciences of Education of the University of Alcalá, Spain, but due to its features and the great benefits it has, now it is available for every customer interested in improving his/her resources for managing his/her emotional world. Emotongue has been created for helping people to know their emotions, connect with them and learn how to manage them. The app is a tool easy to use, with a colored and dynamic design. It sends the user 5 notifications per day, and she/he has at his/her disposal 2 hours to answer each notification either by a written message or by an audio. The app is available in every country in which people speak English and/or Spanish. An improved version of the app could send users a feedback about their evolution in their management of their emotions and their use of the app. A part from the app, the authors could offer a service to companies interested in it, by creating courses about emotional management, designed according to the company’s needs, something very difficult to find in the trade market.

Antibodies to measure residual levels of mycotoxin ochratoxin A in food CSIC and the University of Valencia have developed antibodies capable of determining ochratoxin A in food and ensure compliance with legislation on food products regarding the presence of this mycotoxin. Antibodies have been generated using novel functionalized derivatives of ochratoxin A. These immunoreagents have shown their efficacy in both direct and indirect competitive ELISA to detect concentrations close to parts per trillion. We are looking for companies interested in patent licensing for the development of fast, sensitive and portable kits for the analysis of ochratoxin A in foods and beverages based on these antibodies. The license of the patent is offered Effective, fast and accurate detection Ochratoxin A has a higher incidence in cereals, wine, juices and coffee One of the most harmful and frequent mycotoxins in food is ochratoxin A. Its presence is a real problem for human health due to its toxicity, and it causes significant economic losses to various productive sectors. The main fungi producing ochratoxin A belongs to the genera Penicillium and Aspergillus, and the products with the highest incidence are cereals, wine, juices and coffee. The small concentrations at which this potent toxin is usually found commonly require the use of sophisticated chromatographic methods. An alternative is the generation of antibodies against ochratoxin A with superior performance to the existing ones that allow this toxin being recognized with high affinity and specificity. These immunoreagents can be easily implemented in various analytical platforms, from the simplest, such as competitive ELISAs and immunochromatographic strips, to more complex, like chips or biosensors of different types, which allows us to simultaneously analyze a large number of samples in low-resource settings such as warehouses, cellars and even farmlands. Main applications and advantages  Ochratoxin A derivatives functionalized at new positions have been synthesized that faithfully preserve the structure and characteristics of this potent mycotoxin.  These new compounds have proven to be extremely efficient as haptens to generate antibodies capable of recognizing ochratoxin A with an affinity and selectivity not previously described.  Immunoassays developed using these immunoreagents have been shown to be very sensitive, allowing analysis of ochratoxin A at levels close to 10 parts per trillion.  These new methods are faster than instrumental procedures, especially when analyzing complex samples such as wine and coffee.  The generated immunoreagents are easily adaptable to portable methods, such as ELISA kits or immunochromatographic strips.
