While split-thickness autograft (STSG) combined with dermal substitutes remains the conventional procedure for burn wounds, evolving advancement in technologies have provided alternatives and multi-model treatment for deep burns which includes mechanisms such as dermal scaffolds, cellular therapies, anti-microbial dressings and regenerative adjuncts. This technology introduces a topical burn treatment formulated with Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (TMD), WS2 (tungsten disulfide) nanosheets as the key active ingredient. TMDs are a class of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials combining tunable electronic, optical, and catalytic properties with excellent mechanical flexibility and chemical stability. Traditional burn therapies mainly focus on anti-bacterial activity but often delay healing due to strong cytotoxicity. The TMD nanosheet formulation shows powerful anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial effects simultaneously. It efficiently scavenges reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), suppresses inflammatory cytokines, and reduces cell apoptosis—ultimately minimizing tissue damage and promoting faster wound recovery. These attributes make TMDs promising for next-generation biomedical materials, particularly in antibacterial coatings, wound dressings, and photothermal therapy—offering multi-functionality beyond traditional metallic or polymeric materials. Laboratory and animal studies have verified its efficacy and safety, suggesting strong potential for clinical translation once large-scale synthesis and formulation optimization are completed. The technology owner is seeking collaboration partners with:  Pharmaceutical and skincare companies Medical material manufacturers Clinical research institutions interested in nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems and topical wound-care products.

Radiation therapy is a cornerstone of clinical cancer treatment. However, high doses often result in unavoidable damage to healthy tissues, as well as tumour resistance and metastasis, which limit its broader clinical application. Clinical imaging techniques have limitations in detecting very small tumours (< 5 mm) located deep within tissues, hindering early diagnosis and timely medical intervention. This technology introduces a next-generation theranostic platform for cancer imaging and therapy based on Organic Radio-Afterglow Nanoprobes (RANPs) designed for ultrasensitive deep-tissue cancer imaging with long afterglow signals and biomarker activation, enabling early detection and surgical precision/treatment. RANPs integrate three functional components: Radioabsorber – converts X-ray energy into radioluminescence. Radiosensitizer – activated by radioluminescence to generate singlet oxygen (1O2). Radioafterglow substrate – reacts with 1O2 to form intermediates that emit persistent afterglow. This platform also introduces a tumour-specific biomarker-activatable nanoprobe (tRANP) that allows for highly specific tumour detection and potential surgical removal of minute tumours (as small as 1 mm³) at an X-ray dose comparable to a single CT scan. The highly reactive oxygen species (1O2) generated from low-dose X-ray irradiation enables Radiodynamic Therapy (RDT) that can eradicate tumours and reduce metastasis demonstrating its potential for cancer treatment. This technology poses a strong fit to address personalized medicine. The technology owner is seeking to collaborate with Clinical and medical partners specializing in early detection, surgical and radiation oncology. Partners with experience translating nanomedicine or theranostic agents into clinical trials. Companies working on nanoparticle radiosensitizers, imaging agents, or radiotherapy platforms.

Every high-rise building construction requires the installation and maintenance of temporary support system, like falsework and scaffolds, to ensure work can be carried out effectively and safely. Due to the long project and deployment periods, these tall falsework systems might be subjected to various dynamic mechanical impacts, such as prolonged vibration from machineries and piling works overloading, which might lead in displacement and tilting of such structure which are not visible.
