Thomas P. LOZITO 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).

  • MODULAR, MICROFLUIDIC, MECHANICALLY ACTIVE BIOREACTOR FOR 3D, MULTI-TISSUE, TISSUE CULTURE
    Publication number: 20240093157
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various bioreactor devices and systems for growing cellular material, and related methods of growing cellular material. In some cases, a system can include a well plate having a plurality of wells and a bioreactor situated in each well of the well plate. In some cases, a bioreactor can include an inner body which divides the bioreactor into several distinct chambers and facilitates the growth of a multi-tissue sample in the bioreactor. In some cases, a system can include a mechanical actuator situated to mechanically stress tissues grown in a bioreactor.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 15, 2023
    Publication date: March 21, 2024
    Applicant: University of Pittsburgh - Of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education
    Inventors: Rocky S. Tuan, Hang Lin, Thomas P. Lozito, Peter Alexander, Douglas Allen Nelson, Jr., Riccardo Gottardi
