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.
