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.

Secreted splicing variant of mammal Klotho as a medicament for cognition and behaviour impairments

M.Chillón, A.Massó, A. Bosch
Universitat Autònoma Barcelona

The invention disclose using secreted splicing variant of mammal Klotho (s-KL) as an agent for the prevention and/or treatment of cognitive and/or behaviour impairments. It also refers to gene constructs and expression vectors useful in gene therapy for the delivery of said s-KL variant to the central nervous system of a mammal, in particular a rodent or a human. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising either the protein s-KL or any gene construct for expressing the protein in the CNS are also disclosed.

Process for quantum random number generation in a multimode laser cavity

Valerio Pruneri, Carlos Abellán, Waldimar Amaya, Morgan Wilfred Mitchell
ICFO, ICREA

A process and system for producing random numbers by means of a quantum random number generator is disclosed, comprising the steps of operating a multimode laser in a laser cavity with periodic modulatio of a net gain, and detecting the random indensity pattern produced by th the inter-mode beating occurring within the laser cavity. The numbers produced are truly random and a minimal number of elements is required for operating the system.
