Patents by Inventor Rebecca Wing Yan Chan

Rebecca Wing Yan Chan 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).

  • Publication number: 20240093298
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for diagnosing auto-immune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) based on the sizes, methylation levels, and/or genomic characteristics of circulating DNA molecules. Patients provide blood or other tissue samples containing cell-free nucleic molecules for analysis. Massively parallel and/or methylation-aware sequencing can be used to determine the sizes and methylation levels of individual DNA molecules and identify the number of molecules originating from different genomic regions.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 21, 2023
    Publication date: March 21, 2024
    Inventors: Yuk-Ming Dennis Lo, Rossa Wai Kwun Chiu, Rebecca Wing Yan Chan, Lai Shan Tam
  • Publication number: 20200308645
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new method for detecting or monitoring a liver disease in a subject that has no indication of any liver pathologies, by measuring the amount of concentration of albumin mRNA in an acellular blood sample from the subject, and then comparing the amount or concentration of albumin mRNA with a standard control.
