Title: Innovations of Daniel A. Coleman
Introduction
Daniel A. Coleman is an accomplished inventor based in San Mateo, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of biological stimuli characterization and cell ploidy classification. With a total of 3 patents, his work has advanced the understanding of cellular responses to various stimuli.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Characterizing biological stimuli by response curves." This innovative method calculates distances between stimulus response curves, allowing for the classification of stimuli based on how the phenotype of cells changes in response to varying levels of the stimulus. Each point on the curve represents a quantitative phenotype or signature for the cells at a specific stimulus level. The method facilitates the comparison of stimuli by calculating distances between points on the response curves, which are aligned on a coordinate representing a distance from a common point of negative control.
Another notable patent is the "Ploidy classification method." This invention utilizes image analysis methods and apparatus to determine the ploidy of cells. The process involves segmenting images to identify regions occupied by cells or nuclei and determining the presence of specific ploidy indicator features. The method can include treating cells with markers that highlight these features, allowing for accurate classification based on DNA levels.
