Cassio Baptista 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).

  • Patent number: 8148302
    Abstract: The invention provides a microarray and methods for producing a protein microarray. The array comprises multiple nucleic acid molecules immobilized on a substrate, each comprising (i) a protein-binding domain and (ii) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a fusion protein comprising a polypeptide of interest and a DNA-binding protein that binds the protein-binding domain, and one or more fusion proteins produced from the multiple nucleic acid molecules. Each fusion protein is immobilized on the substrate via binding to a nucleic acid sequence comprising the protein-binding domain present on the nucleic acid molecule from which the fusion protein is produced or on the substrate. The invention also provides a method of analyzing protein interactions with, for example, other proteins, lipids and drugs.

  • Publication number: 20080003565
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods of detecting and identifying known and unknown viruses using hybridization microarrays to known conserved and non-conserved viral nucleotide sequences, the sequencing of nucleotides which hybridize to the microarrays and analysis of the hybridized sequences with existing databases, thus identifying existing or new subtypes of viruses.
