Dennis Lambert 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).

  • Nucleic acids encoding DP-178 and other viral fusion inhibitor peptides useful for treating aids
    Publication number: 20070202127
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides which exhibit potent anti-retroviral activity. The peptides of the invention comprise DP178 (SEQ ID:1) peptide corresponding to amino acids 638 to 673 of the HIV-1LAI gp41 protein, and fragments, analogs and homologs of DP178. The invention further relates to the uses of such peptides as inhibitory of human and non-human retroviral, especially HIV, transmission to uninfected cells.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 28, 2006
    Publication date: August 30, 2007
    Inventors: Dani Bolognesi, Thomas Matthews, Carl Wild, Shawn Barney, Dennis Lambert, Stephen Petteway, Alphonse Langlois

  • Traction device
    Publication number: 20060161086
    Abstract: An apparatus is shown for applying a traction force to a body member of a patient. The apparatus includes a columnar support coupling a lower arm to an upper arm. The columnar support has a fine adjustment mechanism for incrementally adjusting the distance between the lower arm and the upper arm along a central axis of the columnar support, wherein the distance corresponds to the traction force applied to the body member. The columnar support includes a plurality of sections that may be folded or separated for storage or transport. An attachment assembly, coupled to the upper arm, secures to one or more appendages in communication with the body member. A restraining element, coupled to the lower arm, secures to an opposing side of the body member such that the restraining element and the attachment assembly distribute the traction force to the body member upon actuation of the fine adjustment mechanism.

  • Compositions for inhibition of membrane fusion-associated events, including human parainfluenza virus transmission
    Patent number: 6333395
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides which exhibit potent anti-retroviral activity. The peptides of the invention comprise DP178 (SEQ ID NO:1) peptide corresponding to amino acids 638 to 673 of the HIV-1LAI gp41 protein, and fragments, analogs and homologs of DP178. The invention further relates to the uses of such peptides as inhibitory of human and non-human retroviral, especially HIV, transmission to uninfected cells.
    Type: Grant
