Collaborations


NASA - Johnson Space Center

A leading threat to astronaut health is calcification during and after space flight. Nanobac is pioneering effective ways of diagnosing and preventing this condition. Through a Space Act Agreement with NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC), Houston Texas, Nanobac Director of Science, Neva Ciftcioglu, Ph.D., works on location at NASA JSC with a multidisciplinary team of NASA researchers while having access to basic laboratory services for nanobacteria science, including electron microscopy, molecular biology and geology-mineralogy research facilities.

University of California San Francisco (UCSF)

This multi-center collaboration involves researchers from Nanobac, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and NASA�s Johnson Space Center, to study kidney stone formation. The multi-disciplinary team applies the same type of instrumentation used to analyze particles collected from space to analyze mineralized particles collected from kidney patients

Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research

A collaborative agreement with Mayo focuses on the prevalence and treatment of CNPs in specific disease populations. Mayo uses diagnostic kits developed by Nanobac to evaluate the presence of CNPs in patients.

Iowa State University

Nanobac works with the Department of Geological and Atmospheric Sciences at Iowa State University to explore novel methods for detecting CNP associated analytes.

Rice University

Research into the protein structure of CNPs is being carried out by Rice University, NASA, and Nanobac. Rice is a leading nanotechnology research center.

Miami Heart Center

This collaborative study evaluated the presence of nanobacterial antigens and antibodies in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization and coronary artery angioplasty intervention. CNPs have been isolated and cultured from atherosclerotic plaque and have the unique capacity to cause calcification and inflammation in tissues.
