===Digital Glucose Sensor Transmitter===

The objective of this project is to develop a transmitter capable of transforming short-wave radio frequency into Wifi or cellular signal, that can attach to the glucose monitors worn by diabetic patients.

The objective of this project is to develop a film that will promote the healing of chronic wounds (such as diabetic foot ulcers), using a novel technique that involves transient growth factor expression delivered via baculovirus vectors.

===MAAscreen 2017-2018===

MAAscreen, our eco-friendly and biodegradable sunscreen, resolves many environmental issues that arise from conventional sunscreens. The chemical UV filters in these sunscreens, such as oxybenzone, threaten the marine environment. We made it our mission to find a safer, more natural alternative for consumers. Inspired by the concept of biomimicry, we came up with the idea of extracting mycosporine like amino acids (MAAs) from algae. These compounds provide broad-UV protection similar to current available sunscreens. To minimize environmental harm, we developed a product whose lifecycle would benefit the environment at every step of the way.

===ActivAid 2018-2019===

ActivAID is an effective wound dressing that not only accelerates wound healing, but also has antibacterial properties, wound cleaning action, and scar prevention capabilities. Such unique properties are achieved by combining a specific alginate hydrogel and bioactive glass.
