Donna K. Slonim 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).

  • Methods for diagnosing RCC and other solid tumors
    Patent number: 7611839
    Abstract: Methods, systems and equipment for diagnosing renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and other solid tumors. This invention identifies numerous disease genes that are differentially expressed in the peripheral blood of patients having RCC or other solid tumors relative to disease-free humans. These disease genes can be used as surrogate markers for detecting the presence or absence of RCC or other solid tumors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2003
    Date of Patent: November 3, 2009
    Assignee: Wyeth
    Inventors: Natalie C. Twine, Michael E. Burczynski, William L. Trepicchio, Andrew J. Dorner, Jennifer A. Stover, Donna K. Slonim
  • Methods for predicting chemosensitivity or chemoresistance
    Patent number: 7324926
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for classifying or predicting the classes for samples based on gene expression are described. Also described are methods and apparatus for ascertaining or discovering new, previously unknown classes based on gene expression. Methods, computer systems and apparatus for classifying or predicting whether a sample is treatment sensitive (e.g., chemosensitive) or treatment resistant (e.g., chemoresistant) are also provided. Classification occurs based on analysis of gene expression data from samples that have been subjected to one or more compounds.
