Creating additional Activity Books for students in kindergarten and 5th and 6th grades

Innovators of the Future Activity Books are STEM‐based books for elementary school age students with special focus on Native American learners. Age and developmentally appropriate content are approached using culturally responsive visual and tactile learning methods. Appealing visual and tactile activities are made meaningful to Native American youth by incorporating Native American culture and language to creatively translate abstract science and mathematics concepts and promote wellness and science education and career exploration.

Amaxa LV Unit for engineered therapeutic cells for regenerative medicine

The ultimate goal is to provide our gene transfer transposon/transposase platforms to the rapidly growing field of gene modified cell therapy. B‐MoGen will utilize it’s non‐viral gene transfer technology, Tc Buster, to engineer MSCs and iPSCs as a vehicle to efficiently deliver therapeutic proteins to local sites of inflammation for the regeneration of healthy tissues.
