Latest Patents
One of Jie Han's latest patents is titled "Nonenzymatic catalytic signal amplification for nucleic acid hybridization assays." This invention presents devices, methods, and kits designed to amplify the signal from hybridization reactions between nucleic acid probes and their cognate targets. The devices feature partially-duplexed, immobilized probe complexes that are spatially separate from and separately addressable from immobilized docking strands. The cognate target acts catalytically to transfer the probe from the site of probe complex immobilization to the site of the immobilized docking strand, generating a detectable signal. The methods and kits can be utilized to identify the presence of cognate targets in fluid samples.
Another notable patent is "Catalyst patterning for nanowire devices." This invention involves nanowire devices based on carbon nanotubes or single-crystal semiconductor nanowires. These devices can be formed on a substrate, where catalyst sites are created using various techniques such as lithography, thin metal layers, and electrochemical deposition. Nanowires can then be grown from these catalyst sites, leading to innovative applications in nanotechnology.
