Patents by Inventor Gregory T. Cibuzar

Gregory T. Cibuzar 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).

  • Apparatus for generating a temperature gradient and methods for using the gradient to characterize molecular interactions
    Patent number: 6733729
    Abstract: A novel apparatus for generating temperature gradients is described. The apparatus includes a semiconductive wafer and electrical connectors attached to, preferably, one of the edges of the wafer. Methods for transferring the temperature gradients to strata are described. The temperature gradients on the strata can be used for analyses of molecules, particularly biological macromolecules. The present invention also includes improved methods for determining the thermal stability of binding complexes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 11, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 11, 2004
    Assignee: Regents of the University of Minnesota
    Inventors: Martin Blumenfeld, Mark Fisher, Fred Williamson, Gregory T. Cibuzar, Brian G. Van Ness
