Dominick A. Vacante 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).

  • Needle assembly for use in delivering precise dosages of proteinaceous pharmaceutical compositions and methods for use of same
    Patent number: 8092429
    Abstract: The needle assembly of the invention is a quad-partite system for use with an arc-center stereotactic headframe that allows a clinician to deliver recombinant expression vectors through the needle assembly to targeted sites at exact depths in the brain. Methods for use of the needle assembly with a rube insert for the needle cannula that does not bind proteins, as in protein viral capsids, permit delivery of precise volumes of pharmaceutical compositions containing viral recombinant expression vectors for gene therapy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 10, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2012
    Assignee: Ceregene, Inc.
    Inventors: Mehdi Gasmi, Elias T. Ketchum, Dominick A. Vacante
