Logic / Sponsored research

[Tech major] · NUS Computing AI lab

Challenge
Tech major needed a federated learning protocol for a regulated cross-border data scenario their internal team couldn't ship within compliance.
What NUS brought
Patented cryptographic protocol, three named PhD researchers, and pre-existing reference implementation.
Partnership
18-month sponsored research with right-of-first-refusal licensing. Two embedded NUS researchers on partner team.
Outcome

Pulse / Spinout licensing

[Pharma partner] · NUS Medicine

Challenge
Pharma partner needed early access to a novel liquid biopsy approach validated in clinical pilot — and wanted to back the spinout commercialising it.
What NUS brought
Patented assay, completed clinical pilot, IP-assignable to spinout, and the founding clinician-scientist team.
Partnership
Spinout structured through TTI · NUS retained equity stake. Pharma partner anchor investor in seed round.
Outcome
