  • Microarrays and their manufacture
    Patent number: 8349584
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for creating two- and three-dimensional arrays. Plates of sample materials are stacked to create primary stacks. Primary stacks are sliced to form combs. Combs are stacked to form secondary stacks. Secondary stacks are sliced to form tertiary plates or two-dimensional arrays. Tertiary plates can be stacked to form three-dimensional arrays. The two- and three-dimensional arrays can be used in large-scale parallel processing of samples, pattern printing, tissue engineering, microfluidics, microelectronics, and microconstruction.

  • Method for predicting responsiveness of breast cancer to antiestrogen therapy
    Patent number: 7642050
    Abstract: The invention is directed to diagnostic and monitoring methods (assays) for cancer and kits that may be used in such methods. More particularly, an aspect of the invention relates to the use of activated Stat5 for diagnosing and monitoring breast cancer and predicting the effectiveness of cancer treatment. The invention also relates to the use of screening assays for discovering compounds that effect levels of activated Stat5.
