Under a new agreement, Mumbai, India-based Pregna International and the University of Utah will partner to develop and distribute advanced anti-HIV and contraceptive products. The manufacturer and the institution will work together to commercialize an antimicrobial "molecular condom" designed for internal application by women; it would release an antiviral drug upon contact with semen. The technology was created by Patrick Kiser, an assistant professor of bioengineering at the university, and Kavita Madanlal Gupta, an Indian student working toward a PhD in bioengineering at the university.
