LARGE-SCALE WIRELESS BIOSENSOR NETWORKS FOR BIOMEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS
Overview Electronic sensors are increasingly prevalent in the world around us. Scalability, however, is complicated by the fact that the signals at each sensor location can vary both in time and in magnitude, but often must be read at once by a single transceiver. Current brain-computer interface research, as an example, is hampered by inefficiencies...

Two Compartment Model for Detecting the Toxicity of Liver Metabolites
Overview Liver toxicity is a significant reason many new drugs fail in clinical trials. Primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) are the current gold standard for in vitro liver models; however, they have a number of limitations. We have invented an easy-to-use two-compartment device that provides in vitro 3D high-throughput prediction for safety assessments...

Treating Glioblastoma, Metastatic Melanoma, and Other Tumors Involving CNS Metastases
Overview Metastasis involving the spread of systemic cancer to the brain typically results in neurologic disability and death; current treatments are largely palliative in nature. We have invented a method of treatment based on determining whether the patient has an increased level of MDM2/MDM4 genes and/or proteins and/or a decreased level of CDKN2A...

Novel Chromogenic Beta-Lactamase Substrate for Diagnostic Biomaterials
Overview Chromogenic beta-lactamase substrates are used to diagnose bacterial infections. Yet those currently available lose their diagnostic color-change capability when chemically modified. We have synthesized a novel chromogenic beta-lactam molecule (“ANT”) that retains its color-change response when modified for conjugation to a range...

Low-Noise Amplifier for High-Speed Tunneling-Recognition Diagnostics
Overview Though optical and mechanical nanosensors may operate near their intrinsic noise floors, electronic platforms often plateau at limits determined jointly by the sensors and their electronic acquisition circuits. We have invented a low-noise method for the detection and determination of biomolecules obtained from high-speed electron-tunneling...

Salivary Extracellular Vesicles as Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders
­Salivary Extracellular Vesicles as Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Overview Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and related disorders has historically been hampered by lack of readily accessible biomarkers. We have identified biomarkers present in the saliva that can distinguish between individuals with...

Plasmonic Interferometry Cytokine Detection
­Plasmonic Interferometry Cytokine Detection Overview Optical interferometry is a valuable tool in fields ranging from fiber optics and biomedical imaging to astronomy. Plasmonics interferometry, which enables the guiding and manipulation of light in devices much smaller than the wavelength of the incident light, makes use of the ability of metal...

Method to Predict and Diagnose Seizures and Other Neurological Events (Case 2045)
Method to Predict and Diagnose Seizures and Other Neurological Events Overview Though epilepsy is a common neurological disorder, the medical community still struggles to define and understand seizures and related neurological events. Our method uses implanted microelectrode arrays to predict and detect neurological events—a crucial first step...

Methylation Cytometry Diagnostic for Immuno-Oncology  (Case 2073)
Methylation Cytometry Diagnostic for Immuno-Oncology Overview DNA methylation-based biomarkers have great potential to transform the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of cancer and other diseases. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism used by cells to control gene expression. During DNA methylation, methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule,...
