A method that enables the storage and transport of vaccines and life-saving drugs at room temperature, eliminating the need for expensive refrigeration or freezing, is one of 12 technologies selected for development through the Philadelphia-based University City Science Center. The Science Center’s QED Proof of Concept program connects university researchers with experts to transform life-sciences discoveries into products and services that benefit human health.
Early progress on the development of the technology was made possible through support from the New Jersey Health Foundation and the New Jersey Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science.
