Numerous Promising New Technologies Now Available for Licensing
- Rutgers scientists have developed the first air sampler for airborne viruses, bacteria, mold, and pollen that does not require a power source of any kind. It is small, with a fully customizable size and shape, and is easy to manufacture. Applications include identifying a person's specific allergens, to widespread bioterrorism monitoring, and it can be easily applied anywhere in indoor and outdoor environments.
- Rutgers researchers have developed a novel biosensor built on the ZnO thin film transistor technology with integrated ZnO nanostructures. The presence of ZnO nanostructures ultimately enhances sensitivity and selectivity, at a lower cost. As a result, this technology can be used to form a "sensor-on-a-chip" suitable for diagnostic applications and research in drug development, assay technology, and cancer pharmacology.

Edible Garden Signs Agreement with Nutrasorb, a Rutgers Spinout
Edible Garden has signed an exclusive contract with Nutrasorb, a Rutgers spinout, to grow and sell nutritionally enhanced lettuce. "Scarlet Lettuce" was developed by Ilya Raskin, professor of plant biology in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. The lettuce is the first to be named a "superfood." It delivered a significant decrease in blood glucose and insulin resistance over regular lettuce when fed to diabetic mice. Read more here.
