Search Technologies

The NCI seeks licensees or co-development partners for this technology, which describes compositions, methods and kits for identifying, characterizing biomolecules expressed in a sample that are associated with the presence, the development, or progression of cancer.

The National Cancer Institute’s Laboratory of Human Carcinogenesis seeks parties to license or co-develop a method of predicting the prognosis of a patient diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or breast cancer by detecting expression of one or more cancer-associated genes, and a method of identifying an agent for use in treating HCC.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners for a companion diagnostic (CDx) that detects human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) and other biomarkers to predict efficacy of TCR-T cell adoptive transfer, immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI), tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), and other TCR-mediated immunotherapies.

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees to further develop and commercialize its methods of noninvasively and directly determining the absolute homeostatic state, metabolic activity, function, and viability of isolated cells, or tissues (ex vivo or in vivo), such as the Central Nervous System (CNS). The method uses Nuclear Magnetic Resonance or Magnetic Resonance Imaging measurements of the rate at which endogenous water exchanges across cell membranes.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) identified a biomarker signature of viral infection that correlates with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence in at-risk individuals. It has been validated in a longitudinal cohort to detect HCC with high sensitivity and specificity up to 7 years prior to clinical diagnosis. This viral exposure signature can be easily implemented into diagnostic assays for screening of HCC and is available for licensing and/or co-development opportunities.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute’s Biopharmaceutical Development Program recently developed massively parallel sequencing methods for virus-derived therapeutics such as viral vaccines and oncolytic immunotherapies, for which the NCI seeks licensees or co-development collaborations.

Researchers in the National Cancer Institute’s Laboratory of Pathology have developed an improved tissue fixative solution that is formaldehyde-free. This novel fixative, BE70, significantly improves DNA, RNA, and protein biomolecule integrity in histological samples compared to traditional fixatives. Additionally, BE70 is compatible with current protocols and does not alter tissue processing. NCI seeks partners to license this technology.

The Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research seeks parties interested in collaborative research to co-develop software for the automatic 3-D visualization of biological image volumes.

The National Cancer Institute is seeking parties interested in collaborative research to co-develop or license the in vitro and in vivo removal of targets using light energy.
