BasicBites™, Candy for Dental Health Launched

Israel Kleinberg, DDS,PhD, DSc, Distinguished Professor in the Depart of Oral Biology and Pathology, at Stony Brook University, and his commercial partner Ortek Therapeutics, have launched BasicBites®, a chewable candy that is actually beneficial for your teeth. BasicBites? are designed to mimic saliva’s profound and natural benefits. The science behind BasicBites, AlkaGen Technology™, was developed in part with support from the Center for Biotechnology. Read the full press release and more about the launch. More information on the product can be found on the BasicBites? website at www.basicbites.com.

Companies with an active NIH SBIR or STTR Phase I or Phase I Fast-Track award (grant or contract) within the past two years are eligible to receive a Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) Program Needs Assessment Report*

The TABA Needs Assessment Report provides a third party, unbiased assessment of your progress in 10 technical and business areas that are critical to success in the competitive healthcare marketplace including Target Market Attractiveness (Need/Size), Ability to Address Market Need, Regulatory Path and more. Learn more: https://sbir.nih.gov/support-for-awardees/taba-needs-assessment

*For companies with multiple awards, only one project will be considered for the program. Small businesses that have received TABA funding within their Phase I award are not eligible to participate.

A modification to exercise the option for a two-year SBIR Phase II of the contract was executed on June 8, 2016. Vitatex Inc. provides proprietary invasive circulating tumor cell (iCTC) enrichment technology and products to develop revolutionary cancer genetic and cell tests. These "liquid biopsies" focus on next generation sequencing (NGS) detection, gene expression profiling and flow cytometry and have recently been adopted by the clinical laboratory community to characterize cancer cells and/or their RNA/DNA in blood samples non-invasively and serially, and to acquire genetic alternations and drug resistance information, which have the potential to replace tests run on surgical biopsies. Clinical metastasis of solid tumors is linked to blood-borne dissemination of viable tumor cells in the circulation and clinical instrumentation is now available to isolate, enumerate, culture, generate metastatic mouse models and perform molecular analyses on these circulating tumor cells (CTCs). However, CTCs are fragile and tend to degrade within a few days when collected in standard blood collection tubes. "The functional CTC preparation tube is designed to collect, enrich and preserve the viability/functionality of cancer cells in blood all within a closed system" said Wen-Tien Chen, PhD., Chief Scientific Officer of Vitatex. "The goal is to define conditions of Vitatex CTC preparation tubes for capturing and preserving cancer cells in the blood of patients with breast, ovarian and other types for up to 96 hours of transit." Specific terms of the contract were not disclosed.
