Patents by Inventor Tammy K. Chu

Tammy K. Chu 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).

  • Biomimetic peptoid polymers
    Patent number: 9073977
    Abstract: The present invention provides for novel peptoid oligomers that are capable of self-assembling into two-dimensional sheet structures. The peptoid oligomers can have alternately hydrophilic or polar side-chains and hydrophobic or apolar side-chains. The peptoid oligomers, and the two-dimensional sheet structures, can be applied to biological applications where the peptoid plays a role as a biological scaffold or building block. Also, the two-dimensional sheet structures of the present invention can be used as two-dimensional nanostructures in device applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 7, 2011
    Date of Patent: July 7, 2015
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Ronald N. Zuckermann, Tammy K. Chu, Ki Tae Nam
