The University of California, Santa Barbara presents a custom built portable device developed by Dr. Han’s research group that allows to achieve nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal enhancement under ambient biological conditions. This device is easy to assemble and can be used to create hyperpolarized water for in-vivo NMR or MRI analysis.

This invention will be presented by Dr. Han during three different conferences:

• DNP Symposium (Nottingham, UK - August 29th)
• International Conference on MRI (Aachen, Germany - September 3rd)
• “Interfacing MRI with Fundamental Studies of Fluid Dynamics” workshop (Cambridge, UK - September 11th)

UCSB has filed a Provisional Patent application for this technology, which is currently available for licensing. The flyer distributed during the conferences can be downloaded here.

A large bundle of UCSB patents has recently become available for licensing. Our researchers isolated pseudopterosin compounds from soft corals that can be useful as anti-inflammatory, burn treatment and analgesic agents or to treat tissue healing. These compounds can also be used as over-the-counter treatments for rashes and other skin conditions or as cosmetics to minimize allergic reactions.
