Technologies Awarded Princeton Accelerator Funding


NJ ACTS congratulates two former recipients of NJ ACTS Pilot Awards for their Intellectual Property Accelerator Fund awards from Princeton: Alexander Ploss and Mohamed Donia.

Alexander Ploss, professor of molecular biology, and his team are developing a therapeutic approach for curing hepatitis B virus (HBV), a common human pathogen that results in close to one million deaths annually. The IP Accelerator award will enable the team to continue their research aiming to identify a compound that can suppress HBV infection in the human body.

Mohamed Donia, associate professor of molecular biology, and his team developed the first quantitative, standardized approach to mapping how individuals’ gut microbiomes impact response to medications. The IP Accelerator award will enable the researchers to assess the usefulness of their screening method for drug development and personalized medicine.
