Patents by Inventor Edmond Gravel

Edmond Gravel 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).

  • Polymerized micelles for diagnosis
    Patent number: 9839700
    Abstract: The invention relates to polymerized micelles of size inferior to 100 nm for in vivo diagnosis, in particular of cancer. The polymerized micelles of the invention comprise a diagnostic agent and an amphiphilic polymer obtainable by the polymerization of an amphiphilic monomer, said monomer comprising: a lipophilic chain comprising a polymerizable vinylic or diacetylenic group, and a hydrophilic head comprising a polyoxyethylene or polyoxypropylene chain. The invention finds application in the pharmaceutical field, in particular.
    Type: Grant

  • Multi-target photonic biosensor, and method for manufacturing and preparing same
    Patent number: 9791439
    Abstract: A component or device is provided for the detection or the measurement in parallel of one or more specific types of biological or chemical target products. This component includes a group of nanotubes selected and/or functionalized to interact with the target product, around an optical waveguide. Thus, an optical coupling is produced between the optical waveguide and one or more optical characteristics of these nanotubes, the modifications of which are evaluated in the presence of the target product. In addition, a method is provided for manufacturing and preparing such a component or device, and a detection method using them, as well as a post-manufacture preparation method comprising a specific functionalization for different target products starting from the same type of pluripotent generic component. Also provided is a family of PFO-based functionalization polymers.
