OTT: Annual Celebration: 2023 Deal of the Year Emory University 2023-07-31 | Pfizer Inc. Antiviral Compounds for the Treatment of COVID-19 Raymond Schinazi, PhD, Franck Amblard, PhD, Mahesh Kasthuri, PhD, Nicolas Biteau, PhD, Longhu Zhou, PhD, Zhe Chen, PhD, HongWang Zhang, PhDThe COVID-19 pandemic has continued to evolve since its onset, impacting lives of people around the globe. Additional effective treatment options continue to be in high demand to combat the disease. In 2022, Emory University entered into an exclusive license agreement and research collaboration with Pfizer, Inc. to advance research that may help fill this unmet need. Under this agreement, Emory researchers in the Schinazi Laboratory will work with Pfizer to identify and evaluate potential antiviral compounds to treat COVID-19. This collaboration creates an opportunity to progress the discovery of a drug or drug combination that would be safe and less likely to select for resistant viruses. The aim is to discover a drug that will prevent or rapidly cure SARS-CoV-2 and prevent progression of the disease to long COVID. Dr. Schinazi and his team have a long track record in the discovery and development of antiviral agents for treating infectious diseases. His research group consists of a dynamic team with expertise spanning across multiple fields, including medicinal chemistry, virology, molecular biology, and immunology, among others.More information: https://www.ott.emory.edu/about/annual-celebrations/index.html
OTT: Annual Celebration: 2023 Start-Up of the Year Emory University 2023-07-31 | Focused CryoJ. David Prologo, MDFocused Cryo was co-founded in 2019 by David Prologo, MD and is based in Kennesaw, Georgia. Focused Cryo is developing a new, easier to use cryoablation system that provides instant feedback and improved directional control. The benefits of this system will allow for significant improvement in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other ailments. The shortcomings of existing cryoablation technologies have led to unwanted tissue damage and further complications. Focused Cryo’s proposed technology would address these issues in order to deliver a treatment that is safer and more effective.

OTT: Annual Celebration: 2023 Innovation of the Year Emory University 2023-07-31 | Methods in Improving MRI Quantification and Accuracy, Phillip Zhe Sun, PhDMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a well-known and well-utilized, non-invasive technique to detect metabolic changes in the human body. CEST (Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer) MRI, CEST Intravoxle inhomogeneity correction (CIVIC), and (Quantitative steady state) QUASS analyses are advanced molecular MRI techniques that are promising to improve the specificity and sensitivity of molecular MRI scans. CEST MRI exploits the protons in specific proteins and metabolites that undergo chemical exchange with bulk tissue water, allowing for detecting commonly less visible signals. However, CEST MRI depends on the scan conditions and suffers relatively low specificity and accuracy. QUASS analysis not only overcomes the confounding impact of scan protocols to standardize CEST measurement but also enables highly specific and accurate CEST quantification. Furthermore, by measuring the genuine CEST signals, QUASS can provide information about tissue composition, such as abnormal metabolite concentration and tissue pH, for diagnostic purposes. Dr. Sun has shared with our office a slew of discoveries related to QUASS development to improve post-image processing. Some of them include the extension of QUASS for fast multi-slab multi-slice CEST MRI. In addition, Dr. Sun has developed an intravoxel correction of CEST MRI and spectroscopy, dubbed the CIVIC approach.More information: https://www.ott.emory.edu/about/annual-celebrations/index.html
