Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "B/B-like fragment targeting for the purposes of photodynamic therapy and medical imaging." This invention provides compositions and methods for delivering a substance of interest to a targeted cell. The substance is associated with a targeting fragment of a toxin molecule or a lectin that specifically binds to a cell surface receptor. This method can be used to deliver a photosensitizing agent to cancer cells, allowing for their destruction upon exposure to light. Alternatively, the substance may serve as a visualizing agent that enhances the visualization of the targeted cell.
Another notable patent is the "Three-dimensional holographic fluorescence microscope." This optical scanning holography system requires only a two-dimensional scan to record three-dimensional information from a fluorescent specimen. The system is based on scanning the specimen with a Fresnel zone pattern and detecting the fluorescent light reflected from it. This innovative approach allows for the creation of three-dimensional images using only a two-dimensional scan.
