IN-PART:

Generation of iPSC-derived T Cells for Therapeutic Use

  • 🔋 A global pharmaceutical company with cutting-edge capabilities in drug development and a history of successful academic collaborations wishes to identify research related to the generation of T cells, both alpha beta and gamma delta T cells, from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
  • 💡 Approaches of Interest: (*) Differentiation of iPSCs into haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) in feeder cell-free systems. (*) Differentiation of iPSC-derived HSPC into T cells in feeder cell-free system with improvements to shortening the differentiation cycle. (*) Expansion of iPSC-derived T cells in feeder cell-free system. (*) Approaches to increase the lymphoid potential of iPSC-derived cells, e.g. pathways, genetic modifications, transcription factors, reagents or culture conditions. (*) Insights into T cell receptor gene (TCR) rearrangement and strategies to prevent or monitor TCR rearrangement. (*) Approaches to improve the functional attributes (e.g. cytokine secretion) of iPSC-derived T cells, e.g. pathways, genetic modifications, transcription factors, reagents or culture conditions. (*) All improvement to the above processes where there are promising good manufacturing practice methods, scalable processes and technologies to advance the allogeneic platform. (*) Applications in oncology are of interest.

⏱️ Challenge deadline: 18th April 2022

 

Qatar Research, Development and Innovation Council:

Seeking Innovative Technologies For Energy Storage In Harsh Environments

  • 🔋Qatar’s electricity is generated using mainly natural gas power stations. In an effort to preserve local resources and reduce enviromentalfootprint,KAHRAMAA is currently investing in sustainable and renewable energy systems. Currently,KAHRAMAA is building the first Mega PV Solar Station with capacity of 800MW expected to finish by 2023 with adjoint control center.
  • 💡 To support in better management of energy fluctuations (e.g. peak shaving), KAHRAMAA wants to develop efficient state-of-the-art energy storage systems. KAHRAMAA have already successfully piloted a 1MW battery storage system, and is now looking to pilot new systems which offer greater storage capacity.

⏱️ Challenge deadline: 21st April 2022

 

one.five:

Paper Modification and Paper Coating Infrastructure for Packaging Applications

  • 📜five is a biomaterials discovery and development company transforming material science solutions into radically better packaging.
  • 💡five is seeking scientists and research groups with physical lab/pilot plant capacities or access to such physical lab/pilot plant facilities with experience in paper modification and coating at lab and pilot scale. The main goal is to find partners for rapid prototyping and quick design-build-test-learn (DBTL) iterations.

⏱️ Challenge deadline: 2nd May 2022

 

ENEL:

Detection of Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) in sewer networks

  • ♒ A large part of the sewer catchments managed by Gruppo CAP are affected by the problem of Inflow and Infiltration which is why we look forward to receiving a set of proposals to address this issue.
  • 💡 The challenge focuses on finding innovative and sustainable solutions that are efficient and effective in terms of cost and large-scale replicability for the sewage systems, to offset the negative impact caused by inflow and infiltration (I&I) issues.

⏱️ Challenge deadline: 24th May 2022

 

Clorox:

Alternative (non-quaternary ammonium) anti-microbial actives for cleaning and disinfection

  • 🦠 There is growing consumer interest in sustainability and more gentle cleaning products, and Clorox is committed to meeting those emerging consumer needs. And it is important that these human-friendly and planet-friendly solutions provide parity disinfection (contact time) and broad cleaning benefits (removal of greasy soils).
  • 💡 Clorox is seeking new anti-microbial active ingredients with exemplary human safety and environmental sustainability profiles for use in a broad range of consumer disinfecting cleaning products. Technologies will be assessed against quaternary ammonium compounds as an industry benchmark for anti-microbial efficacy, formulation flexibility, sustainability, and regulatory requirements.

⏱️ Challenge deadline: 1st June 2022

 

Corteva:

Building blocks for sustainable small molecule crop protection solutions

  • 👨‍🔬 Corteva designs molecules with favorable human health and environmental profiles starting with building blocks that have low molecular weight, low LogD, and high sp³ characteristics. As such, we are seeking input from the broader scientific community to gain access to diverse chemical space – non-commercial building blocks – that can be incorporated into our molecules for the exploration of novel and more sustainable active ingredients.
  • 💡 Corteva seeks to engage with researchers at universities and non-profit research institutes who can transfer samples (0.25 mmol quantities) of novel, synthetic, small molecule building blocks in exchange for monetary compensation.

⏱️ Challenge deadline: 1st June 2022

 

PepsiCo:

Rapid water contaminant detection

  • 🧫 Acrylamide is a highly water-soluble compound and its level in drinking water is regulated in many geographies. The WHO guidelines for drinking water provide a limit of 0.5 ppb for acrylamide.
  • 💡 Current methods for analysis of acrylamide in water are costly, time- and effort-intensive, and results are available only after the water has been distributed for use. The company seeks a faster, less labor-intensive, and accurate method that can give us results in real time.

⏱️ Challenge opens on 1st April 2022

 

PepsiCo:

Identifying alternate sources of water

  • 💦This project seeks to explore how we can leverage the climate conditions surrounding our manufacturing facilities to extract water from the environment around us such as through atmospheric water extraction, dew/fog/rainwater harvesting, or even desalination. Reducing the demand on municipal water will cause a reduced demand on local watersheds.
  • 💡 PepsiCo is seeking to determine the availability and feasibility of low energy water extraction technologies for use as potable water in food and beverage manufacturing plants.

⏱️ Challenge opens on 1st April 2022

 

PepsiCo:

Characterizing plant proteins as they undergo extrusion

  • 🌱 PEP R&D wants to screen plant protein ingredients and characterize plant protein dense raw materials under direct expanded extrusion conditions to help develop snack products.
  • 💡 Develop a model to understand processing of plant proteins in extrusion as we have for starch. The model will guide PEP developers and supplement the selection from PEP’s ingredient toolboxes to ultimately lead to successful development of extruded snacks. We are interested in vertically integrated partners that can provided an end-to-end solution for the knowledge and expertise in plant protein characterization, processing, and integration/interpretation to help us develop that model.

⏱️ Challenge opens on 1st April 2022

 

PepsiCo:

Biodegradable coatings and adhesives for next generation PHA films

  • ⚗️PepsiCo haa been working on bio-based/biodegradable flexible films for food packaging to help with achieve our sustainability goals of having 100% RCBR (recyclable, compostable, biodegradable, or reusable) compliance for the packages as well as 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2030. While flexible package is a very sustainable option from a material use point of view, the multi-layer, multi-material structures are not conducive for recycling.
  • 💡 PepsiCo is seeking bio-based/biodegradable coating and adhesive solutions for flexible PHA films used in food packaging to achieve our sustainability goals of 100% RCBR compliant materials and 20% GHG reduction by 2030.
