Dr. Yana Sandlers and Dr. Xue-Long Sun, both faculty members in the Department of Chemistry, have received new National Institutes of Health (NIH) R15 awards to support their genetic research programs. NIH's Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) R15 award program supports meritorious research that engages student researchers.
Dr. Sandlers will study genetic processes related to Barth Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that can affect a range of body systems such as an enlarged and weakened heart, muscle weakness, susceptibility to infection due to low white blood cell count, and short stature.
Dr. Sun is a member of CSU’s Center for Gene Regulation in Health and Disease (GRHD) and is engaged in research on the proteoglycan Thrombomodulin (TM). Thrombomodulin is a cell membrane protein that regulates blood coagulation. Learn More »

The Federal Government has issued multiple executive orders, memoranda, and other statements relating to Federally Funded research. Many of these orders affect CSU grant awards, and some of the orders have been the subject of litigation. A web page has been created to provide information and guidance to Cleveland State University researchers who are involved with Federally Funded grants or developing new proposals to Federal agencies. |

CSU Patent Review Committee The Patent Review Committee approved an invention disclosure submitted by Dr. Jerzy Sawicki, the Bently and Muszynska Endowed Chair, Professor, and Department Chair of Mechanical Engineering (MCE) and students Jason Weibrecht and Jacob Strick, titled ATTACHED MECHANISM FOR POWERED LOWER LIMB ORTHOSES. The novel mechanism allows an actuating device to be quick connected to a passive exoskeleton. This connection would add a powered component to an otherwise passive exoskeleton providing the wearer increased gait assistance at a fraction of a powered exoskeleton’s cost. Contact Jack Kraszewski for assistance with a disclosure to begin the process of protecting your invention or intellectual property. |
Technology Marketing Opportunity The CSU Research Corporation (CSURC) has partnered with ScaleIP, a cutting edge AI driven, intent data platform to market CSU’s valuable but unrecognized technologies. With ScaleIP's proprietary transaction database, we can filter for best-fit companies by who licenses, who partners, and who collaborates. These are the "high intent" companies, the ones where the historical data signals a high openness to new opportunities. If you would like your technology marketed by CSURC via ScaleIP, please contact Jack Kraszewski. |
