Patents by Inventor April M. WEIR-HAUPTMAN

April M. WEIR-HAUPTMAN 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).

  • Predicting human developmental toxicity of pharmaceuticals using human stem-like cells and metabolomics
    Patent number: 10473641
    Abstract: The invention provides biomarker profiles of metabolites and methods for screening chemical compounds including pharmaceutical agents, lead and candidate drug compounds and other chemicals using human stem-like cells (hSLCs) or lineage-specific cells produced therefrom. The inventive methods are useful for testing toxicity, particularly developmental toxicity and detecting teratogenic effects of such chemical compounds. Specifically, a more predictive developmental toxicity model, based on an in vitro method that utilizes both hSLCs and metabolomics to discover biomarkers of developmental toxicity is disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 21, 2014
    Date of Patent: November 12, 2019
    Assignee: Stemina Biomarker Discovery, Inc.
    Inventors: Paul R. West, April M. Weir-Hauptman, Alan M. Smith, Elizabeth L. R. Donley, Gabriela G. Cezar
