Project Number 4185: The Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for Children
A new Health Outcomes Questionnaire is available from Isis tackling the assessment of children’s disability associated with foot and ankle problems. This new patient-reported questionnaire uniquely takes the views of both the child and parent/carer into account in the assessment.

Project Number 4039: Improved Cryopreservation of hES and iPS cells
Oxford researchers have developed cryopreservation methods for cryopreserving and recovering hES and iPS cells, resulting in improved cell survival and recovery rates.

Project Number 4026: Efficient Cell Cryopreservation Media
Oxford researchers have developed cell cryopreservation media with well-defined, serum free agents for preserving adult stem cells, human and animal primary cells.

Project Number 3329: High-Throughput Screening Of Membrane Proteins
A novel method for producing synthetic biological membranes has potential in new high-throughput screens of membrane protein function and drug interactions.

Project Number 1082: Engineering Residual Stress Measurement
An Oxford inventor has demonstrated the principle for a new portable instrument for the measurement of residual stress in engineering components and structures.

Project Number 3656: Not Such a Rarity: Cheap Energy from the Sun
A novel inorganic thin film photovoltaic system has been developed which offers stable low cost solar generation without using rare-metal elements.

Project Number 3849: Quantitative Screening Assay For Protein Surface Changes
A new Quantitative Profiling of Biotinylation Patterns (Q-POP) assay, to enable screening for protein surface changes following protein-protein interaction. Potential applications include normal, cancer or pathogen cell function research; enabling identification of new treatment targets.

Project Number 3593: A Novel Method For The Treatment Of Obesity
Isis Innovation, the technology transfer arm of the University of Oxford, releases a new causal-link, with potential in the treatment of obesity. Cysteine levels have been shown to be related to and causal of body fat mass.

Project Number 3190: Prostate Cancer Treatment
New prostate cancer treatment that targets prostate cancer cells that have an elevated level of homologous recombination (a DNA repair pathway).

Project Number 3360: MVA NP + M1 Influenza Vaccine
A new flu vaccine developed at Oxford has been shown to be safe and immunogenic in Phase I clinical trials. The vaccine, based on a replication-deficient MVA virus, is able to generate potent T-cell responses.
