TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Platform to Accelerate Discovery of Tailored Industrial Enzymes (PAD-TIE)

Description: This is a Special Notice technology licensing opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through its management and operating contractor TRIAD National Security, LLC at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), jointly developed with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). PAD-TIE is a high-throughput screening platform that simultaneously evaluates tens of thousands of enzyme variants to accelerate discovery of enzymes capable of breaking down polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic under industrially relevant conditions. The notice advertises exclusive and non-exclusive licensing opportunities for the patented/patent-pending platform (Technology Readiness Level 6, three pending U.S. patents) and explicitly states it is not a solicitation for external development services.
