Professional, scientific and technical activities

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...

Nanomedicine is revolutionising cancer care. By harnessing particles smaller than 100 nanometers, scientists can now target cancer cells with precision while sparing healthy tissue. These nano-scale delivery vehicles—like liposomes and dendrimers—boast a high surface area and customizable chemistry...

The technology described provides an efficient method for separating a polyphenolic compound (such as resveratrol) from biomass, the method comprising feeding the biomass into an aqueous two-phase system with a polymer phase and a salt phase and separating the polymer phase, which includes the...

The antimicrobial solution consists of a novel polymer featuring quaternary ammonium groups that provide consistent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial action. When applied to various substrates, such as textiles and construction materials, the polymer bonds covalently, creating a stable, long-lasting...

The therapeutic toxicity and resistance to currently available treatment options are major clinical challenges for the management of lung cancer. As a novel strategy, researchers synthesized analogues of a known flavonol, fisetin, which has shown anti-tumorigenic potential against cancer in cell...
