Project Number 74001: Improved Synthetic Pulmonary Surfactant
An inexpensive and more effective synthetic pulmonary surfactant, named Synsurf, for patients who suffer respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)

Project Number 4326: Local Generation of Hydrogen
A new approach for local generation of hydrogen as a fuel for applications such as laptops and communication devices. The method operates cleanly, at low temperatures, for long periods & at high yield.

Project Number 3966: Stent for Treating Brain Aneurysms
A new design of flow-diverting stent for direct treatment of brain aneurysms, lowering cost and risk by removing the need for open-brain surgery or time-consuming endovascular coiling.

Project Number 3579: Improved Drug Target Characterisation and Screening
A new method for isolating and manipulating transmembrane protein drug targets through control of their membrane environment; allows for better target characterisation and more predictive nanoarray screening data.

Project Number 4255: Droplet Impact Fusion
Oxford scientists have developed new methods to reach the pressures and temperatures needed to achieve nuclear fusion.

Project Number 4096: Novel RNAi Delivery Technology
Oxford researchers have developed a novel exosome based delivery platform that delivers and targets exogenous genetic cargoes to selected tissues.

Project Number 6614: New Pixel Design for High Dynamic Range at Low Cost
An image pixel design with a high dynamic range and improved low light performance for sensors in cost-sensitive applications such as automotive, industrial, security and consumer products.

Project Number 4203: Novel Bisphosphonate Compounds
Isis Innovation, the technology transfer arm of the University of Oxford, releases novel bisphosphonates for the oral treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and cancer of the bone.

Project Number 3164: Improved Scanning Probe Microscope
A low cost microscope stage with integrated optical light source for use with scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) allowing analysis of drug/target interactions, light-reactive biological and non-biological samples at the molecular level.

Project Number 3162: Miniature Atomic Clock
University of Oxford researchers have developed a new atomic clock based on nanotechnology for use in portable, GPS independent networked devices.
