Jeffrey Arterburn
Jeffrey Arterburn is a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and is a co-owner of seven patents of research tools and therapeutics related to treatments of diseases including cancer. One patent was the result of research collaborations by Arterburn, Eric Prossnitz from the University of New Mexico and colleagues at the UNM Cancer Center.
The patent covers the synthetic molecules that selectively target the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor, and has resulted in licensing and advancement of a new investigational drug through Phase II clinical trials, which show great progress for the treatment of melanoma in combination with an immunotherapy. The discovery was brought to market by Linnaeus Therapeutics to treat cancers including melanoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer and colon carcinomas.

Rolston St. Hilaire
Rolston St. Hilaire is the head of the Extension Plant Sciences department and a Regents professor. He first worked with maple trees while at Iowa State University. While maples grow in the desert southwest, the research challenge was to find one that could grow well in a desert environment while producing the same fall colors seen in Iowa. The release of Mesa Glow bigtooth maple is the response to this challenge.
The tree has been a growing success. The Mesa Glow has been sold in 20 states and two provinces in Canada. Commercial sales of the bigtooth maple began in 2016 and, by 2021, have recorded a 496 percent increase in retail sales. While demand currently exceeds supply, this growth trend is expected to continue.

Reza Foudazi
Reza Foudazi is an associate professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, and has a considerable patent portfolio and his commercialization work with Filtravate. Foudazi and his team invented a new method of membrane fabrication that is considerably more eco-friendly and has a higher filtration rate than conventional membranes.
Arrowhead licensed the antimicrobial filtration membranes patent to VIC Technology Ventures, which started Filtrivate, a New Mexico and Las Cruces-based company. The company has obtained seed investment to validate and mature the technology while commercializing it for much-needed bioprocessing applications.
