Lehigh University researchers unveil engineering innovations at TechConnect 2015: TechConnect is the world's largest accelerator for industry-vetted emerging-technologies ready for commercialization

Washington, DC | Posted on June 11th, 2015

Working at the junction of engineering and health, the Lehigh innovations include a nanoscale device that captures tumor cells in the blood, a bioengineered enzyme that scrubs microbial biofilms and the creation of a safe and efficient chemical reagent that is stable at room temperature.

These Lehigh presentations are all National Innovation Awardees, chosen through an industry-review process of the top 20 percent of annually submitted technologies and based on the potential positive impact the technology will have on industry.

Bioengineer Yaling Liu (www.lehigh.edu/~inmem/faculty/liu.html) has developed a tiny device that can capture tumor cells circulating in the blood and potentially indicate disease type, as well as genetic and protein markers that may provide potential treatment options.

Lehigh chemical and biomolecular engineer Bryan Berger (www.lehigh.edu/~inberger/Welcome.html) wants to improve food safety and keep medical devices clean with an enzyme he's bioengineered that attack biofilms.

Chemist David Vicic ( https://chemistry.cas2.lehigh.edu//faculty/david-vicic ) has created a new chemical reactant that is stable at room temperature, potentially eliminating the use of traditional hazardous regents.

TechConnect is one of the largest multi-sector gathering of technology IP, technology ventures, industrial partners, and investors in the world and brings together the world's top technology transfer offices, companies, and investment firms to locate the most promising technologies and early stage companies from across the globe. Attendees include innovators, funding agencies, national and federal labs, international research organizations, universities, tech transfer offices and investment and corporate partners. The 2015 TechConnect World Innovation event encompasses the 2015 SBIR/STTR National Conference, the 2015 National Innovation Summit and Showcase, and Nanotech2015 - the world's largest nanotechnology event.
