Professional, scientific and technical activities

Nanosene (Pty) Ltd‘s technology centres around the development of polymer tools tailored for membrane proteins (MP) drug target research. Unlike existing solutions, Nanosene’s polymers are optimised to isolate MPs, with the added benefit of customisation possibilities. This technology enables the...

The increasing interest in traditional medicine (TM) herbs for chronic disease treatment has led to significant research into plant-based therapeutics with antioxidant properties. One plant of particular interest is Leonotis leonurus, a South African TM plant, of which leaves have been extensively...

The technology promises to be a new treatment for breast or oesophageal cancer. This drug candidate shows great promise in vitro at inducing cytotoxicity in cancer cell lines with similar activities to very potent clinical chemotherapeutics currently on the market. In addition, there are no similar...

The product “Clock‑out” leverages the indigenous South African plant Sceletium tortuosum, known for its significant neurochemical benefits. This plant has been scientifically validated to increase the levels of neurohormones such as noradrenaline and serotonin, which are crucial for mood regulation...

The humanoid robotics development company technology provides a modular humanoid robotic system designed for use in manufacturing, research, education, healthcare, hospitality, security and surveillance. The modular design makes the humanoid robot easily upgradeable and customisable for various...

The technology relates to an innovative process for converting waste cooking oils to biosurfactants that are applicable to various industries. The process utilises a special yeast strain to convert waste into biosurfactant at competitive concentrations. The downstream process includes a bioreactor...

The device is a user-guided robot which holds and maneuvers a laparoscope, to assist surgeons in minimal access surgery. It can maneuver the laparoscope with five degrees of freedom, namely pitch, yaw, translation, image rotation, and roll of the telescope. 

This technology comprises of a mixture of bacteria and yeast that inhibit the growth of grey rot, powdery mildew, and downy mildew, with different modes of action and grow optimally under different environmental conditions, which may offer a higher level of efficacy in field conditions compared to...

A computer implemented method, system or programme for combining a three-dimensional PET scan and a CT scan of a body into a combined image for segmentation, comprising of:

• Co-registering each of the PET scan and the CT scan as an input with reference to each other. 
• Extracting metadata from the input...
