Patents by Inventor Green Ahn

Green Ahn 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: 20230416377
    Abstract: Provided are bifunctional molecules that include a first moiety that specifically binds a cell surface molecule or extracellular molecule, and a second moiety that specifically binds a lysosomal targeting molecule. The bifunctional molecules find use, e.g., for targeted degradation of cell surface and extracellular molecules (e.g., proteins) via the endosomal/lysosomal pathway. Also provided are compositions and kits that include the bifunctional molecules, as well as methods of using the bifunctional molecules. Methods of making bifunctional molecules are also provided.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20230211001
    Abstract: Provided are bifunctional molecules that include a first moiety that specifically binds a cell surface molecule, and a second moiety that specifically binds a lysosomal targeting molecule. In certain embodiments, the first moiety is a knottin peptide comprising an engineered loop that binds to the cell surface molecule. The bifunctional molecules find use, e.g., for targeted degradation of cell surface molecules (e.g., proteins) via the endosomal/lysosomal pathway. Also provided are compositions and kits that include the bifunctional molecules, as well as methods of using the bifunctional molecules. Methods of making bifunctional molecules are also provided.
