Title: Innovations and Contributions of Ronald L Rabin
Introduction
Ronald L Rabin is a notable inventor based in Rockville, MD (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of medical diagnostics, particularly in the detection of human interferon-alpha subtypes and rapid assays for infections in immunocompromised patients. With a total of 3 patents, his work has had a profound impact on healthcare and patient management.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is focused on "Compositions for detecting human interferon-alpha subtypes and methods of use." This invention provides highly sensitive, specific, and efficient quantitative real-time PCR compositions, methods, and assay kits to detect at least one IFN subtype and/or IFN subtype allotypic variants. The primer/probe sets designed for this purpose enhance the correlation between the measured IFN subtype and the protein that is expressed. This invention is particularly useful for monitoring vaccine efficacy, autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, or tumor therapy.
Another significant patent is the "Rapid assay for infection in neonates." This rapid assay allows for the diagnosis of infections in immunodeficient patients, such as neonates or those with compromised immune systems. By enabling diagnosis at initial evaluation, the assay helps avoid unnecessary antibiotic treatment and confinement to intensive care units for uninfected patients. The method is especially beneficial for diagnosing sepsis by measuring polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN, neutrophil) CD11b levels in low volume whole blood samples.
Career Highlights
Throughout his career, Ronald L Rabin has worked with prestigious institutions, including Leland Stanford Junior University and the United States Department of Health and Human Services. His innovative work has contributed to advancements in medical diagnostics and patient care.
