Monoclonal antibody therapies for the treatment of wounds and other skin conditions. Our pre-clinical studies show that a protein that inhibits wound healing can be neutralised in wounds using a patented antibody therapy. While the initial focus of our clinical development plan is around the development of an orphan drug for the treatment of the rare skin blistering disease epidermolysis bullosa (EB), we ultimately foresee the expansion of this new wound treatment into the larger global wound market and expect to be in clinical trials in EB patients by 2018. We are supported by biotech spinout company AbRegen Pty Ltd and looking for partnering opportunities to advance these studies towards clinical trials.

ICT International’s unique family of digital sensors and data loggers have been developed to measure key plant and soil parameters for the advancement of plant and soils research, to address physiological limitations, to water availability, climate change, evaluation of plant genetics, breeding programs or fundamental understanding of plant function. They have been installed to measure plant water use (sap flow), plant water potential (psychrometer), soil moisture and soil water potential to determine the effects of climate and environmental change across the world including; the Brazilian rainforeststhe “world’s tallest trees” in Californiamine site rehabilitation in Australia and Perugreenhouse tomato production in Australia and the effects of elevated CO2 on plant water use and hydraulic conductivity.
