The University of New Mexico's research efforts have yielded five remarkable inventions that are poised to make a significant impact across industries. UNM Rainforest Innovations (UNMRI), a non-profit organization owned by the university, plays a crucial role in protecting and commercializing these inventions. One such invention focuses on powering electric vehicles through a new energy source - non-platinum-based fuel cell catalysts. This patented technology, licensed to Pajarito Powder, offers a sustainable alternative to traditional gas-powered cars, aligning with the global push for lower carbon emissions. Another invention in flow cytometry led by distinguished professor Larry A. Sklar streamlines cell sample screening and has facilitated advancements in pathology and medical research. Moreover, a breakthrough in cancer and neurodegenerative disease treatment has emerged through a patent targeting specific enzymes linked to various cancers and diseases. This invention opens doors for more effective therapies and potential cures. The successful licensing of these patents to companies both locally and internationally underscores their value and potential to revolutionize their respective fields.
