Deborah M. Thompson has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Electrochemical detection of nucleic acid sequences
    Patent number: 7455975
    Abstract: An electrochemical detection system which specifically detects selected nucleic acid segments is described. The system utilizes biological probes such as nucleic acid or peptide nucleic acid probes which are complementary to and specifically hybridize with selected nucleic acid segments in order to generate a measurable current when an amperometric potential is applied. The electrochemical signal can be quantified.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 3, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2008
    Assignee: ESA Biosciences, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert W. Henkens, John P. O'Daly, Marek Wojciechowski, Honghua Zhang, Najih Naser, R. Michael Roe, Thomas N. Stewart, Deborah M. Thompson, Rebecca Sundseth, Steven E. Wegner

  • Pesticidal activity of functionalized alkenes
    Publication number: 20040034097
    Abstract: The present invention provides non-peptide organic compounds that have a structure analogous to or reminiscent of the TMOF structure and have pesticidal activity. Thus the present invention concerns pesticidal compounds that inhibit digestion in pests by terminating or otherwise blocking synthesis of digestive enzymes by activating a TMOF receptor (collectively referred to herein as “pesticidal compounds”). The pesticidal compounds and other compounds of the present invention are usefully employed in the control of pests, particularly insect pests Such as mosquitoes, which ingest blood.
