Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) Diagnostic Research Innovation CenterThe National Institutes of Health, through the NINDS, is forecasting the establishment of a Diagnostic Research Innovation Center to support the next phase of the Undiagnosed Diseases Network. This center will operate as part of a broader ecosystem including the Clinical and Data Coordinating Center, Networks of Diagnostic Excellence, and the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Program. The primary objective of the center is to advance innovative diagnostic tools and strategies for both genomic and non-genomic conditions, which includes the systematic re-evaluation of unsolved cases from previous network phases. The center will focus on generating and testing diagnostic hypotheses by utilizing advanced sequencing, multi-omics, and gene function studies in animal and human in vitro models. By collaborating with various network stakeholders, the center aims to identify novel disease-associated genes, genomic variants, and new syndromes. This initiative seeks an integrated center featuring investigators with a history of scientific synergy and collaboration. While this is currently a forecast to allow potential applicants time to plan and establish partnerships, formal applications are not yet being solicited.

TIDAL: Target-Induced Droplet Assembly of Ligands

Solicitation # S-197478

Developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory, TIDAL (Target-Induced Droplet Assembly of Ligands) is a programmable protein-only material that utilizes nanobodies fused with encapsulation peptides to create dynamic, liquid-like droplets through phase separation. This technology allows for the precise concentration of binders upon encountering a target ligand, enabling a versatile platform for resin-free protein purification, high-sensitivity diagnostics, and the creation of slow-release drug depots. It can also function intracellularly to sequester and neutralize harmful proteins associated with viral infections or cancer. The technology is currently at TRL 3 with a patent pending and is available for exclusive or non-exclusive licensing through the Department of Energy contractor, Triad. Key market applications span biopharmaceutical manufacturing, therapeutics, and biotechnology. Interested parties can contact Caleb Ledgerwood or Lindsay Augustyn via the provided licensing email to explore commercial partnerships for this innovation.
