Novel Fusion Protein Vaccine for Moraxella Catarrhalis Infections
A fusion protein vaccine designed to prevent COPD exacerbations and pediatric acute otitis media.
Background:
Respiratory infections caused by Moraxella catarrhalis (Mcat) represent a growing public health concern. In children, Mcat is a leading cause of otitis media, a common middle ear infection affecting most children by age three, frequently...

Easily Produced Nanoscale Hot Spots for More Sensitive Raman Scattering Using Liquid Metal Structures
A novel nanophotonic sensor that enhances Raman scattering signals by several orders of magnitude by creating nanoscale hot spots formed by liquid metal.
Background:
Analytes in the hot spots of such nanophotonic sensors will experience drastically enhanced interactions with the incident light, and therefore produce much more optical sensing signals....

Compositions and Methods for Increased Circulation Half-Life
Single domain antibody composition that enable half-life extension and increased blood:tissue ratios.
Background:
While strategies such as PEGylation (PEG, polyethylene glycol), albumin binding, and Fc-fusion have been employed to extend the half-life of biological and pharmaceutical agents, there remains a need for additional strategies that not...
