Single-objective light-sheet imaging system (SOLIS)

Instant volume microscopy

The SOLIS Microscope

A new type of fluorescence microscope that combines the best aspects of confocal with light-sheet microscopy. SOLIS efficiently removes parasitic light from out-of-focus planes that would bleed through between adjacent focal planes and degrade image contrast. 

SOLIS is posed to fill this technology gap between methods that offer the required speed and gentleness on the one hand, and usability and resolution on the other. A prototype has been successfully demonstrated and the technology has patent pending.

 

Value proposition

Being able to observe these tiny, yet fast, cell constituents in their natural environment would provide completely new insights into cellular function and potential starting points for cures of a whole range of diseases.

Opportunities for Collaboration

  • We are currently looking for commercial partners for licensing of the technology.

Microstructured Air-Suspended Thin-film (MAST) waveguide sensor

Superior gas monitoring and measurement

Industry challenges

Traditional gas sensing with absorption spectroscopy uses large multi-pass cells containing a sample gas, through which a light beam is reflected several times. These are bulky and require large volumes of the sample gas. Therefore, current technology is not compatible with use in small spaces or remote applications, such as drone-assisted environmental monitoring, mining or aerospace applications. 

Additionally, traditional devices cannot be used if only a small amount of sample is available or when small volumes are required for safety reasons (e.g., monitoring toxic substances).

Our solution

We are developing a MAST waveguide sensor for chip-based spectroscopic trace gas sensing. The waveguide is incorporated into a gas sensor chip, forming an on-chip sensing system that enables a drastic reduction on the size, weight of the instrument, and the necessary sample volume compared with current state-of-the-art gas sensors.

It is also the first on-chip sensor that differentiate between isotopes in a sample. As a commercial unit, it will have considerably lower cost and energy consumption than bulk-optics competitors.

 

The MAST waveguide is incorporated into a gas sensor chip, forming an on-chip sensing system.
The MAST waveguide gas sensor combines the sensitivity and performance of bulk optics with the size advantage of chip-based designs.

Collaboration opportunities

We are currently exploring potential applications and seeking partners for development and licensing.

Spermotile – A sophisticated tool for improved fertilization success rate

Sperm filtration for improved success rate of assisted reproduction technology

About the technology

With current automated or manual IVF methods focusing on motility, the chance of identifying a sperm for fertilization is high, but the likelihood of the selected sperm being the best is small. This means an inaccurate quality analysis that takes a toll on success rate and asks for multiple fertilization attempts.

Spermotile solves this issue by an ‘all-rounder’ sperm selection criterion that is morphologically healthy, motile and demonstrates desirable dynamic behavior, enabling that the sperms picked are of indeed high quality and highly likely to result into success in the first attempt. In turn, it translated to better throughput and leaner operating costs.

Value proposition

The spermotile is an end-to-end solution for selecting the best sperm automatically in terms of motility, morphology and behavior and performing the fertilization process with improved accuracy, efficiency, and success rate, while simultaneously providing a low-cost, ready to use, and low training option for the end user. Patent pending.

Opportunities for collaboration

  • Development and testing of Spermotile
  • Pilot-testing with customers
Illustrated comparison between Spermotile and current solutions’ processing of filtering dead, non-progressive, and haphazard semen to isolate the best quality sperm. Current CASA solutions use phase contrast microscopy (PCM) to identify and analyse sperm, restricting analysis of advanced sperm motility.

New therapeutic for liver disease, NASH

An unmet medical need

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an advanced form of fatty liver disease that is expected to become the major cause of liver transplantation in the US by 2025. There is an enormous unmet medical need to treat the disease because of its high prevalence and lack of treatment options: there are currently no approved therapeutics for NASH. We are developing a novel therapeutic based on our unique knowledge of an intercellular pathway associated with NASH.

Areas of application

Over 25% of adults worldwide have non-alcoholic fatty liver, and 10-30% of these people will progress to the more serious disease, NASH. Our therapeutic targets this latter population, who currently have no approved treatment options beyond lifestyle changes.

Advantage

NASH has typically been complicated to treat because there are multiple challenges:

  • fat accumulation
  • inflammation
  • liver scarring

We use our knowledge of intercellular pathways to target all three disease hallmarks for the first time.

Opportunities for Collaboration

Our data in animals and human cells support targeting NASH via a newly-discovered intercellular pathway. We are open to partnering to accelerate pre-clinical and clinical development based on these promising results.

Predicting relapse in Ulcerative Colitis patients

- A novel biomarker with the potential to improve the lives of millions of UC patients world-wide

About the technology

Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic autoimmune disorder of the colon characterized by alternating periods of remission and relapse. Disease flares occur in a random way and are currently unpredictable.

Our novel prognostic biomarker can identify patients with a high risk of relapsing, enabling clinicians to escalate treatment before the onset of symptoms and keep patients in remission (figure below). The test is based on mucosal samples from the colon, which might sounds challenging at first. However, endoscopy represent that mainstay evaluating the disease activity, meaning the test can be incorporated without need for additional endoscopies.

Market and competition

2.7 million people are carrying a UC diagnosis in Europe and US. According to the European Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation (ECCO), about 48% of the prevalence is in remission during a typical year, representing a substantial market potential for our test

Currently there is no biomarkers on the market which can predict relapse in UC patients hence our biomarker is targeting an unmet clinical need.

Value proposition

UC patients

  • Fewer relapses
  • More well managed disease and quality of life

Healthcare system/Society

  • Hospital bedtime reductions, examinations, tests, etc
  • Reduce need of proctocolectomies
  •  
Figure: Long term goal by implementing the test ~50% of the UC patient population are experiencing relapse at any given time (left). Our ultimate goal is to create a prevalence shift by increasing the population in remission offering great benefits for patients and the healthcare system (right)

More about the test

  • Molecular – measuring expression ratio between two cytokines (qRT-PCR)
  • Based on mucosal samples from the colon sampled during routine endoscopies
  • Patent pending (2021)
  • Invention originates from the University hospital of North Norway
Figure: Basic principle of relapse test on a per patient level. Test will enable the clinician to stay ahead of the curve, escalating treatment before the flare up and keep the patient in remission (blue line). Time of treatment not shown for simplicity.

Opportunities for Collaboration

We are currently looking for a licensing partner to develop the project further with test design and clinical IVDR- approval.
