  • Minimally invasive implantable neurostimulation system
    Patent number: 11957893
    Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of screening for compounds that modulate the activity of a molecular target
    Patent number: 6472151
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for generating and isolating cell lines that functionally express molecular targets for drug discovery without utilizing information from the nucleic acid or amino acid sequence of the target protein. This procedure for the first time allows one to develop fast, high throughput screens for evaluation of test compounds that may modulate molecular targets whose specific nucleic acid or amino acid sequences are unavailable.
