Elizaveta Vasilyeva 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).

  • Publication number: 20180163257
    Abstract: Disclosed are biomolecule based bioprobes that exhibit improved water solubility and mono layer-forming properties with substantially little or no aggregation that can appreciably interfere with binding of the bioprobes to a target nucleotide. The bioprobes may be used in conjunction with a suitable reporter system to detect very small quantities of biological markers. The bio-probes comprise a nucleobase sequence capable of hybridizing to a target nucleotide; and at least one charged functional group attached to said nucleobase sequence. Also disclosed are biosensors, and sensing devices that comprise the bin-probe. Further disclosed are suitable electrochemical reporter systems for use with the bioprobes. Methods of use of these devices and probes, including for the detection of target biomarkers, including biomarkers for cancer cells or pathogens, are also included.
