Latest UCLA Technologies/Patents Available for Licensing

Transferring Technology from the Labs to the Marketplace

Licensing university technology for product development is a business model companies can leverage to help minimize basic/applied research costs, and create shareholder value. We spotlight several new UCLA technologies available for licensing below:

  • Mutation in the Bcr-Abl Tyrosine Kinase that Confers Resistance to STI571
  • A Novel Cytokine-Based Therapy for Pulmonary Fibrosis
  • Diagnostic Phenotype Assay for Engineered Cells and Tissues
  • Stem Cell Genes for Neural Repair
  • wit 3.0, A Novel Gene to Control Soft Tissue Wound Healing
  • Improved Treatment of Mycobacterial Diseases with Antisense

  • Wireless Assistant for Physicians and Relatives of Hospitalized Patients
  • The Accommoda Desktop: Using Natural Visual Cues to Enhance Desktop Interfaces

  • Ultrasensitive Molecular Detection
  • Use of Nanoparticle Chain Aggregates as Elastic Materials
  • High-Density Electrodes for Neural Stimulation

  • Methods of Fabricating Highly Conductive Regions In Semiconductor Substrates For Radio Frequency Applications
  • Fabrication and Transport Property of Bi-Nanowires
  • Low-Profile, Cavity-Backed Slot Antenna Using A High-Impedance Reflector

    Research Collaboration Mixer — Industry/Faculty at UCLA

    Initiate New Research Collaborations — June 11, 2001

    UCLA is introducing a new series of Industry Collaboration Mixers.

    These invitation-only Mixers will bring together small groups of leading UCLA faculty researchers together with, business development executives, and UCLA's technology licensing team to meet, learn about collaboration & funding opportunities, and discuss IP-related issues.

    The first Mixer of the new series will focus on biotechnolgy, and medical informatics; and will include brief presentations from University of California's BioSTAR and Life Sciences Informatics industry-university, multi-million dollar collaboration funding programs.

    To learn more about this event, send an email to: research@ucla.edu

    School of Engineering — research / neuro-engineering

    New Multi-Disciplinary Research Program

    NeuroEngineering research at UCLA merges MEMS, wireless, and neuroscience technologies to address problems associated with locomotion and pattern generation; central control of movement; and processing of sensory information.

    An excellent overview of the leading research at UCLA in this area can be found here:
