Technology Transfer protects and commercializes intellectual property developed by Utah State University’s world-class faculty, students and staff. The following technologies are some of USU’s most promising commercialization projects.
Featured Technologies
Catalyst-Infused Fuel for Ignition Assist of a Hydrogen Peroxide Hybrid Thruster
Hybrid rocket engines utilize a combination of fluid oxidizer (high density-impulse) and solid fuel to create a propulsion system for small satellites. These systems utilize a catalyst to aid in latency of the satellite, which is incorporated in a variety of ways. This technology proposes a more effective inclusion of the catalyst both in terms of decreasing latency and also safety factors.
Green Antifungal and Antibacterial Amphiphilic Kanamycin - KI06 and KI07
USU researchers have designed a one-step, inexpensive synthesis of amphiphilic alkyl kanamycins (AKs) that uses all-natural components. The result is a new antifungal compound, KI07, which has in vitro activity against fungal pathogens.
A Transgenic Rodent Model with Dietary Niacin Controlled Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) (ANDY Mouse)
Transgenic Mouse Model with Tunable NAD+ Deficiency: NAD+ deficiency is a common factor of aging and a number of metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. USU researchers have developed methods to create a mouse model with tunable and reversible NAD+ deficiency, creating the first practical mouse model of NAD+ metabolism.
