Reliable fall monitoring of people
An Irish SME has developed a discrete wearable fall monitoring device with efficiency approaching 100%. This technology is the product of intensive Research & Development by the promoting company and builds on many years of academic research. The company is seeking a commercial partner, with expertise in Telecare or e-healthcare, for collaboration on final design and market launch.

09 IT 54V8 3FTT
Work station and method to build up a surgical template to guide the insertion of osteointegrated implants in the maxillary arches
An Italian University research laboratory has developed a method and a work station to produce a surgical template guide for the insertion of an osteointegrated implant into the maxillary arches. This method is free of the inconveniences traditionally related to this technique and is very simple and inexpensive to use. They are looking for license agreement and industrial development.

09 GB 44O7 3FXZ
Oblique Selected Plane Microscopy For Optically Sectioned Imaging
A London university had developed Oblique Selected Plane microscopy that is a significant development of Optical Plane Microscopy technique and provides a means of correcting for the aberrations that occur in oblique plane techniques. They are looking for partners for licensing agreement and further development.

09 GB 44O7 3FXV
Novel Doppler Method
A London university has developed an imaging method which can discriminate between static and moving ultrasound contrast agents. The new method can be readily implemented on a wide variety of ultrasonic scanners since it does not require phase inversion or amplitude modulation. The university is now seeking partners for further development and licensing.

09 GB 44O7 3FXQ
A Novel Attenuation Correction Technique for Ultrasound Contrast Agent Imaging
A London university has developed a correction technique to compensate for the attenuation in non-linear signals at the same location to improve the accuracy of blood flow quantification. They are looking for companies interested in licensing the technology or collaborating in a development programme.

09 GB 40n6 3FWR
Targets and therapeutics for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases
A global biopharma company with UK based research is seeking new targets and novel preclinical therapeutics. The therapeutic focus is on autoimmune disease, severe pulmonary disorders as well as fibrosis and tissue remodelling. The desired formats of potential therapeutics are monoclonal antibodies, peptides and small molecules. Licensing opportunities from academia and industry are sought for further development by the company.

10 IL 80ER 3G32
Innovative biofeedback system for improvement of sleep quality and significant reduction of snores
An Israeli SME has developed an innovative biofeedback system used to prevent from sleep-related breathing disorders. The device is cost-effective, enables many applications (the unavailable before) and a very high precision of measuring.

09 GB 39n3 3F95
A prognostic test for renal failure
A method for determining a patient’s risk of renal failure has been developed by a UK hospital research group. The method involves the measurement of a biomarker before and after physical trauma and a comparison of the two levels made. Patients who show a reduction in the biomarker post-trauma are at a significantly increased risk of renal dysfunction. The researchers are seeking a licensing or technical cooperation agreement.

09 GB 39n3 3F9H
Marker for Breast Cancer Prognosis and Clinical Outcome
On-going research at a UK University has led to the identification of a gene set functionally linked to invasion and metastases of breast cancer, and as such is of significant prognostic relevance for predicting the clinical outcome of breast cancer patients enabling clinicians to rank patients for treatment type and  priority'.  The group is seeking an industrial partner to provide a route to market for this technology.
