Startups & Innovations – Funding
Cellecho Inc., an Irvine biotech company, is seeking funding for its cell therapy technology that aims to make immunotherapy more accessible and safer for cancer patients. … Cellecho’s alternative is a microchip-based technology that reprograms cells. Its treatment can be manufactured in one day, versus the two weeks it takes to develop the standard cell therapy drug.

Sponsored Research
Groundbreaking research is a key component of the Samueli School’s mission, one the school is committed to advancing through collaboration with industry experts. Industry partners can participate in a number of ways: sponsorship of an individual faculty member's research on a contractual or philanthropic basis, collaboration with one of the school's many research centers, or licensing a technology developed on campus.

Squid skin inspires creation of next-generation space blanket
"Ultra-lightweight space blankets have been around for decades - you see marathon runners wrapping themselves in them to prevent the loss of body heat after a race - but the key drawback is that the material is static," said co-author Alon Gorodetsky, UCI associate professor of chemical & biomolecular engineering. "We've made a version with changeable properties so you can regulate how much heat is trapped or released."

South Asia’s scorching heat wave comes as climate action stalls
“Heat waves happen more frequently now and they are spread around throughout the year,” Amir AghaKouchak, a University of California, Irvine professor [of civil and environmental engineering and Earth system science], told my Capital Weather Gang colleagues. “This is the new normal and most likely it will only get worse in the future unless we take serious actions.” [Subscription required, campus-wide access provided by UCI Libraries.

Slippery superfluids push jets to breaking point
To update this field for the 21st century, the Thoroddsen group collaborated with researchers at the University of California, Irvine, to build a device capable of reaching temperatures near absolute zero with windows for viewing with high-speed cameras. At these chilly depths, liquid helium can take on a range of different behaviors, including as a frictionless superfluid. Read More

Squid-inspired material keeps the heat – or loses it
[UCI] Assoc. Prof. Alon Gorodetsky, co-author of the paper [said] "Our invention could lead to clothing that adjusts to suit the comfort of each person indoors. This could result in potential savings of 30 to 40 percent on heating and air conditioning energy use."

Southeast Asia’s months-long heat wave is untenable for human health
This extreme weather is “part of a broader climate-change signal,” Amir AghaKouchak, [professor of civil and environmental engineering and Earth system science], a climate researcher at the University of California, Irvine, told Tech Review. Even incremental increases in global temperature will cause extreme heat events like this to become more and more frequent.
