I-SENSE

The Institute for Sensing and Embedded Network Systems Engineering (I-SENSE) leads university-wide activities in Sensing and Smart Systems, one of FAU’s four research pillars. The I-SENSE mission is to promote research excellence in Sensing and Smart Systems; and to develop, demonstrate, and operate technological solutions with high societal impact. The team has extensive experience in the design, deployment, and management of networked sensing infrastructure. The mission is led by a robust interdisciplinary team comprising five staff members, nine faculty fellows, three postdoctoral researchers, more than 60 affiliated faculty, and more than two dozen research assistants. The team’s work is supported through AFRL, NSF, NIH, NIST, DOE, NOAA, and municipal and industry partners.

Violet Defense

Violet Defense uses the power of ultraviolet light to protect everyday spaces from harmful pathogens by killing up to 99.9% of E. coli, Salmonella, MRSA, C. diff., Norovirus, C. auris, and coronavirus. Designed to make disinfection easy, our S.A.G.E. product line offers high-powered UV disinfection of surfaces and air for a variety of settings, including healthcare, K-12 education, higher education, athletic facilities, hospitality, government buildings, and emergency transport vehicles.

A flexible set of mobile solutions offer a way to bring UV disinfection when and where you need it on demand. The patented technology behind Violet Defense makes it possible to cost-effectively incorporate the solution into nearly any environment.

Neobiosis

Neobiosis, LLC is a privately owned biomedical contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) with two production facilities in downtown Gainesville and a Research & Development laboratory located within the Sid Martin UF Innovate biotechnology Institute in Alachua, FL. The focus of Neobiosis is the isolation of tissues, cells and extracellular vesicles (EVs), with medicinal potential, from donated perinatal (birth) tissues, including umbilical cord, umbilical cord blood and amniotic fluid. The name Neobiosis (“new life”) is derived from a series of experiments called Parabiosis (“living together”) where it was discovered that tissues, cells and EVs from a young donor could be used to promote the healing of older individuals. Neobiosis produces innovative products from healthy, full-term births, for client organizations who wish to take biomedical products though FDA-approved clinical trials for commercialization in a global market. Neobiosis is also committed to advancing an in-house pipeline of intellectual property and biological medicines.
