Six ɫ�����ֱ��-based startups with ties to ɫ�����ֱ�� were recognized for their innovation with $1.5 million in grants from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade.

The companies—Artimus Robotics, Bioloomics, Earable, Emergy, Longpath Technologies, and New Iridium—represent several departments across campus.

Led by its current investors Maverick Ventures and Global Frontier Investments, the funding will be used to advance the development of ColdQuanta’s cold atom Quantum Core technology, the foundation for the company’s development of quantum computers.

A 2-year, $2 million National Cancer Institute (NCI) award has been given to ɫ�����ֱ��-based startup SuviCa, Inc. co-founded by ɫ�����ֱ�� and CU Cancer Center investigator, Dr. Tin Tin Su. Dr. Su hopes to find drugs that augment the effect of radiation to keep cancer at bay.

The Onyx™ platform enables scientists to create libraries of millions of precisely engineered single cells in one experiment through a fully automated workflow.

A low-cost, high-performance battery chemistry developed by ɫ�����ֱ�� researchers could one day lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy that could help electrical utilities reduce their dependency on fossil fuels. Venture Partners helped to file the patent on the innovation.

Inscripta gave its first public presentation at the 2019 Synthetic Biology: Engineering, Evolution & Design (SEED) conference in New York City, where the company offered a peek into their progress toward making “the world’s first scalable platform for benchtop digital genome engineering.”

This technology is being developed by ɫ�����ֱ�� Associate Professor Jianliang Xiao of the Department of Mechanical Engineering in collaboration with Professor Wei Zhang of the Department of Chemistry. Their completely recyclable, self-healing e-skin may one day lead to improvements in human health, robotics, prosthetics and beyond.

Associate Mechanical Engineering Professor Mark Rentschler, founder and CEO of ɫ�����ֱ�� spinout Aspero Medical, and his research colleagues are prototyping Endoculus, their gastro-intestinal exploring robot.

Last month, researchers at ɫ�����ֱ�� saw the fruits of their labors launch aboard a new satellite. That satellite is the first in a planned fleet of Earth-orbiters that the team says will one day record weather data at every point on the globe every 15 minutes.
