[Invitation for Expression of Interest- Deadline: 15 March 2023]

Invitation for Expression of Interest for “DNA Sequences for the Authentication of Toxic Herbs Strychnos Species and Uses Thereof” Technology

We are inviting expressions of interest (EoI) for commercializing “DNA Sequences for the Authentication of Toxic Herbs Strychnos Species and Uses Thereof” technology.  The innovation is developed by Professor SHAW Pang Chui, Professor of School of Life Sciences of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK Reference: 11/SCI/459).


The Technology

The invention discloses a 5S rDNA sequence and an ITS sequence of semen strychni and common dysosma rhizome, a method for identifying the species of the semen strychni and the common dysosma rhizome by utilizing the 5S rDNA sequence and the ITS sequence of the semen strychni and the common dysosma rhizome and the method for distinguishing the traditional Chinese medicines which are easy to be confused with the semen strychni and the common dysosma rhizome by utilizing the sequences..

Commercialization

The technology is now available for licensing on an exclusive basis.  In order to fully realize the benefit of the technology, we expect substantial investment is necessary to enable further research and development.  In addition to the financial commitment, the licensee is expected to have the appropriate expertise as well as plans in marketing and strategizing the end product to ensure successful transfer of the technology to the society.  Previous or existing business involvement and experience in this area is a plus.

This invitation of expression of interest is without prejudice.  We also stress that this invitation is not a tender, and the University is not bound to accept any offer, or to accept the highest monetary offer, as there are additional considerations (such as the widest possible benefit to the community) that we, as a public institution, will need to take into consideration.
