Patents by Inventor FELIX Y. FENG

FELIX Y. FENG 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: 11873532
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, systems and kits for the diagnosis, prognosis and the determination of progression of cancer in a subject. The invention also provides biomarkers that define subgroups of prostate cancer, clinically useful classifiers for distinguishing prostate cancer subtypes, bioinformatic methods for determining clinically useful classifiers, and methods of use of each of the foregoing. The methods, systems and kits can provide expression-based analysis of biomarkers for purposes of subtyping prostate cancer in a subject. Further disclosed herein, in certain instances, are probe sets for use in subtyping prostate cancer in a subject. Classifiers for subtyping a prostate cancer are provided. Methods of treating cancer based on molecular subtyping are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 9, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 16, 2024
    Assignees: Decipher Biosciences, Inc., 2. The Regents of the University of Michigan

  • Publication number: 20230151429
    Abstract: Methods, compositions, and kits for identifying individuals who will be responsive to post-operative radiation therapy for treatment of prostate cancer are disclosed. In particular, the invention relates to a genomic signature based on expression levels of DNA Damage Repair genes that can be used to identify individuals likely to benefit from post-operative radiation therapy after a prostatectomy.
