And this year, six promising projects will receive support from the Chancellor\u2019s Innovation Fund (CIF), helping researchers turn their discoveries into market-ready solutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cNC&#160;State continues to show why we are considered among the country\u2019s<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/research.ncsu.edu\/commercialization\/statistics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">top universities for commercializing research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,\u201d says Wade Fulghum, interim executive director of NC&#160;State\u2019s<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/research.ncsu.edu\/commercialization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Office of Research Commercialization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u201cThe CIF is just one of a number of ways we help our innovative faculty commercialize their research for world-changing impacts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NC&#160;State established the CIF in 2010 to help researchers bridge the gap between publicly funded research and the point at which discoveries are developed enough to secure private funding. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To date, the CIF has granted nearly $3 million to 45 projects \u2014 which have attracted over $53 million in follow-on funding. These projects have generated 24 startup companies, 45 license agreements and more than $1.1 million in licensing revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The work of this year\u2019s CIF awardees ranges from a novel technique for infusing coffee into foods to groundbreaking developments in disease treatment \u2014 including a potential alternative to chemotherapy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Purifying Therapeutic Antibodies Faster and More Efficiently<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chemical engineers Stefano Menegatti and Ruben Carbonell have developed novel adsorbents \u2014 called \u201cPepMix\u201d \u2014 that transform the purification of anticancer and autoimmune therapies. Current purification methods are burdened by high costs and long processing times, causing roadblocks for patients in need of lifesaving drugs at affordable costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PepMix fundamentally changes the industrial purification of biotherapeutics \u2014 morphing it from a multistep process to a continuous one-step process, while also filtering out dangerous impurities more effectively. Together, these attributes are poised to have a game-changing effect on productivity. CIF support will be used to scale-up the operation at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.btec.ncsu.edu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, demonstrating compatibility with industrial equipment and compliance with FDA-mandated purity and potency standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Making Coffee a Direct Ingredient in Foods<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dairy processing experts Gary Cartwright and Carl Hollifield have discovered a way to convert coffee beans into a direct food additive, allowing for unprecedented flavor and caffeine potency in coffee-infused products. In today\u2019s fast-paced world, coffee-infused products are everywhere \u2014 from ice cream and beer to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/style-beauty\/g9253175\/coffee-beauty-products\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lotions and cosmetics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Not surprising, given that nearly <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncausa.org\/Industry-Resources\/Market-Research\/NCDT\/NCDT-Infographic\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">80% of Americans are coffee drinkers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Making coffee-infused products currently requires brewing coffee, then removing the water to create a concentrate that can be added to the products. But with the ability to convert coffee beans into a direct additive, the brewing step \u2014 which wastes coffee grounds, water and energy \u2014 is bypassed altogether. CIF support will be used to make flavored product samples that will go to potential commercial partners for evaluation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Creating Better Electronic Displays<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ph.D. student Pedro Vergara and professor Leda Lunardi, of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, have developed technology that creates sharper, more vibrant screen displays that also use less power. To do this, they\u2019ve combined the best qualities of the two main display types on the market \u2014 emissive and reflective \u2014 while eliminating the drawbacks of each.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Emissive displays, used in most smartphones, make indoor reading easy and produce high-quality images, but they eat up considerable power and can\u2019t reflect sunlight. They can also cause eye strain with prolonged use. Meanwhile, reflective displays \u2014 used in reading tablets like Amazon\u2019s Kindle \u2014 consume much less battery and practically eliminate glare. But they lack the image quality and touch-response time of emissive displays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vergara and Lunardi\u2019s technology reduces glare more effectively than displays like the Kindle while providing video capability, faster response time and longer battery life. CIF support will be used to build a small-scale, fully functional prototype.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A Promising New Tool in the Fight Against Cancer<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Michael Sano, of UNC-Chapel Hill and NC&#160;State\u2019s Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, has developed a treatment that could become an alternative to chemotherapy and radiation treatment for inoperable tumors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the American Cancer Society, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/cancer\/cancer-basics\/lifetime-probability-of-developing-or-dying-from-cancer.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">one in three people<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will have cancer at some point in their lifetime. Surgical removal of tumors can be curative, but many tumors form so close to major blood vessels that surgery becomes challenging or impossible. That means the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/about-cancer\/treatment\/types\/chemotherapy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">vast majority<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of cancer patients have to endure chemotherapy. Because chemotherapy can\u2019t distinguish cancerous cells from healthy ones, it can cause a range of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/treatment\/treatments-and-side-effects\/treatment-types\/chemotherapy\/chemotherapy-side-effects.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">adverse side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sano\u2019s therapy uses electrical pulses and mild heating to selectively target and kill cancer cells \u2014 leaving underlying blood vessels and nerves undamaged. The therapy is also fast, with the potential to treat most tumors in under seven minutes. And because it spares critical structures, it may also shorten the healing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CIF support will be used to conduct a large-animal preclinical safety and reproducibility study needed for FDA approval.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Accelerating the Path to Clinical Trials for In Vivo Gene Editing<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jorge Piedrahita, Randall B. Terry Jr. Distinguished Professor of Translational Medicine and director of the Comparative Medicine Institute, and his Ph.D. student Kathryn Polkoff are developing a pig model that promises a path to safer, more cost-effective clinical trials and eventual FDA approval for gene-editing therapies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gene editing is widely regarded as the future of treating and correcting genetic disorders in humans. NC&#160;State food science professor Rodolphe Barrangou\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.ncsu.edu\/2018\/11\/what-is-crispr-gene-editing-barrangou\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2007 discovery of CRISPR-Cas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> presented a new world of gene editing possibilities. But to become a reality for human healthcare, the delivery methods must be proven to be precise, safe and effective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Piedrahita and Polkoff\u2019s model, using fluorescent proteins found in jellyfish, identifies whether a gene-editing therapy reached the right place in an organism \u2014 and whether the intended result occurred \u2014 at a single-cell level. The precision of this data will make clinical trials considerably safer and more effective, increasing the likelihood of the model becoming the industry standard and helping gene editing reach its potential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CIF support will be used to create the model using methods that increase the commercialization potential of the model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Using CRISPR to Unlock the Capabilities of Gene Editing for the Forestry Industry<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leveraging the combined expertise of the College of Natural Resources\u2019 Forest Biotech Group (FBG) and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences\u2019 CRISPR lab, FBG Director Jack Wang and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.ncsu.edu\/2018\/05\/nc-states-rodolphe-barrangou-elected-to-national-academy-of-sciences\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CRISPR pioneer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Rodolphe Barrangou have discovered how to edit tree stem cells without using added DNA.

However, these trees could be produced in as little as 12 months, as opposed to the 15 years it can take with traditional breeding methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CIF support will be used to further test the CRISPR-based delivery system and prove the feasibility of whole-tree generation from the edited stem cells.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>This post was <a href=\"https:\/\/research.ncsu.edu\/blog\/2019\/07\/chancellors-innovation-fund-helps-turn-nc-state-research-into-real-world-solutions\/\">originally published<\/a> in Office of Research and Innovation.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false,"raw":"<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At NC State, we know discoveries made here can change the world.
