Patents

ICREA selects researchers based solely on their scientific achievements. However, excellent science often leads to the invention of new and amazing technologies and solutions. When that happens, ICREA fully supports the exploitation of these opportunities.

Our ICREA research professors are working in different Universities and Research Centres. On account of this, ownership of any intellectual or industrial property is always shared between ICREA and the host institution. To make negotiations as fast and conclusive as possible, host institutions are entitled to explore and engage in technology transfer activities on behalf of ICREA when opportunities arise. ICREA supports the exploitation efforts and offers advice throughout the process.

Please have a look at our current technologies and contact ICREA to learn more about them.

The invention consists in a kit to detect a fragment of HER2, known as p95HER2, with an specific antibody that does not recognize full-length HER2. Since breast tumors expressing p95HER2 do not respond to Herceptin, a monclonal antibody against the extracellular domain of HER2, but do respond to lapatinib, an inhibitor or HER2, the detection of p95HER2 allows a better management of HER2-positive tumors. The patent has been licensed to a multinational pharmaceutical company and it is currently being developed for commercialization.

Preparation of uniform nano-sized solid materials by continuous precipitation

Javier Pérez-Ramírez, Sònia Abelló Cros, Marta Santiago Redondo
Institut Català d'Investigació Química

A process for the prepn. of nano-sized solid materials with a uniform particle size and a uniform pore size distribution includes the continuous pptn. under const. temp., const. pH and fixed residence time, in a stirred reaction chamber simultaneously fed with at least two solns. The reaction chamber is a microreactor and the pH of the reaction mixt. is controlled by the flow of the feeding solns. Also, hydrotalcites, dawsonites and aluminas with specific morphol., size distribution and pore size which can be prepd. by this process. The prepd. materials can be used in catalysts. The prepd. hydrotalcites can be used in ceramic films or in nanolithog. processing.
