 This breakfast
event will highlight emerging CU-Boulder technologies at all
stages—in
the lab, new startup companies, and successful businesses.
Sponsored by Holme Roberts and Owens and hosted by the
University of Colorado Technology Transfer Office, the breakfast
is your opportunity to meet the players in CU’s technology
community.
Medical Informatics
An early-stage innovation from CU’s Center for Spoken Language Research.
CU’s Natural Language Processing technology can be used to pull relevant
data out of text-based medical records. This allows hospitals and other health
care facilities to direct more staff resources to direct patient care.
Enhanced Foreign Language Training
Foreign language training software programs have begun to use
speech recognition technology to provide a more interactive,
classroom-like experience. CU’s SONIC large vocabulary
speech recognizer is especially well suited to foreign language
applications and can provide a high-performance, interactive
experience; SONIC is currently being incorporated into a
leading foreign language teaching platform.
Regeneration of Muscle Tissue
A potential startup concept based on UCB stem cell technology.
Skeletal muscle stem cells can be used to repair muscles
after injury, counteract age-related loss of muscle mass,
and treat the various forms of Muscular Dystrophy. CU researchers
have developed a new method for transplanting skeletal muscle
stem cells and enabling them to survive long-term.
ColdQuanta, Inc.
A new startup company based on Nobel-prize winning work at
UCB. ColdQuanta is commercializing CU technology for the
achievement of Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) in an atomic
vapor. Ultracold states of matter including BEC have potential
applications in a wide range of research and commercial settings,
ranging from atomic clocks, inertial sensing instruments
and the improvement of frequency standards, to magnetic field
sensing, or further out, quantum computing.
AgriHouse, Inc.
AgriHouse, an agri-biotechnology company headquartered in Berthoud,
is developing CU’s innovative leaf sensor, which enables
reliable feedback for plant irrigation control by direct
detection of impending water deficit stress in plants. As
featured in the Daily Camera!
Phiar Corporation
Phiar Corporation is a successful, venture-backed company developing
components for true monolithic integration of high-frequency
electronic and electromagnetic-wave functions onto silicon
chips and other substrates. Phiar’s metal-insulator
technology replaces costly hybrid semiconductors, and extends
the functions to higher frequencies. |
