  • Rakta Therapeutics, Inc.

    Rakta Therapeutics, Inc. has licensed the rights to a series of small molecules for the treatment of leishmaniasis, one of the World Health Organizations neglected tropical diseases. Spread by bites sandflies, the Leshmania protozoan are the cause of the disease. Leishmaniasis affects millions of people worldwide and results in tens of thousands of deaths each year. Previous research at the University of Maryland has identified that Leshmania were unable to synthesize heme, a molecule essential for cellular function. Since these protozoans cannot synthesize heme, the parasitic protozoan must absorb heme from their hosts. Through further collaboration with the University of Maryland, Baltimore, the researchers developed inhibitors of the Leshmania heme transport mechanism. Rakta Therapeutics has licensed these inhibitors with the goal of developing the compounds into effective treatments for leishmaniasis.

  • North American Wave Engine Corporation

    North American Wave Engine Corporation

    North American Wave Engine Corporation, a University of Maryland start-up, has licensed a university developed technology that substantially improves the design of valve-less pulse combustors also known as pulse jet engines. Compared to operating a traditional single combustor or two uncoupled pulse jet engines, the new design and method of operating pulse combustors produce less noise and vibration. This, in turn, enables a variety of practical applications in aircraft propulsion and other fields. North American Wave Engine Corporation won the Phase 1 Technology Validation award from TEDCO’s Maryland Innovation Initiative Commercialization Program to demonstrate the utility of the technology for a specific commercial application.
