The development of high speed, high throughput and highly accurate DNA sequencing methods was one prerequisite for the success of the Human Genome Project. In answer to this need, Richard Mathies and his lab at UC Berkeley developed a new method called capillary array electrophoresis (CAE) where multiple separations could be performed in parallel using bundles of microcapillaries and allowed the generation of over 2.8 million bases in 24 h.
Molecular Dynamics was acquired by Nycomed Amersham Pharmacia Biotech for approximately $256 million in 1998. Amersham was...
Rubicon Digital Mapping Associates was founded to commercialize tools that help users develop strong geologic field skills, based on technology developed in the lab of UC Berkeley Professor George Brimhall. GeoMapper and GeoLogger enable surface mapping, underground mapping, and drillhole logging using digital methods implemented in two integrated and compatible mapping software systems, one for mapping and the other for logging.
Acacia Biosciences, Inc. was a drug discovery technology company committed to the creation of proprietary assay systems and databases that facilitate the rapid development of biopharmaceutical s and agricultural chemicals. The Genome Reporter Matrix is the first in a series of novel tools that provide practical analysis of early stage chemicals by interpreting their effects across entire genomes. In addition to the GRM, Acacia's technology is used to discover novel targets and gene regulatory mechanisms.
Acacia Biosciences merged with Rosetta Inpharmatics in 1999...
A/F Protein Inc. is the world's only commercial producer of antifreeze proteins purified from natural sources for sale to the research and development community. The company was spun out of discoveries in the lab of UC Berkeley Professor of Bioengineering and Mechanical Engineering Boris Rubinsky, an expert in the field of ice physics. Dr. Rubinsky reported on the ability of antifreeze proteins and glycoproteins to interact with mammalian cell membranes at hypothermic temperatures and protect such cells from depolarization and death. This important finding has led to...
BRIEF DESCRIPTION 3D printing for medical and food applications. Mass producing alternative steaks from alternative ground beef. Scalable solution for 3D printed alternative meat.
The Cryolithographic Technology was initially developed to produce biological organs for organ transplant. Realizing that there was an immediate commercial opportunity in food production, RS3Dprints was spun out of the lab.
INVENTOR Boris Rubinsky, Zeev Shaked, and Michal Adamkievicz
