Hee Kyoung Jin 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).

  • Peptide which passes through blood-brain barrier and targets apoptosis of neurodegenerative brain disease site and uses thereof
    Patent number: 8900551
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a peptide that passes through a blood-brain barrier and binds specifically to apoptotic cells in neurodegenerative brain disease-affected sites, and uses thereof. Therefore, the peptide of the present invention can be used for detecting and imaging apoptotic cells in neurodegenerative brain disease-affected sites, and for targeted drug delivery and theranosis of neurodegenerative brain diseases.

  • PEPTIDE WHICH PASSES THROUGH BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER AND TARGETS APOPTOSIS OF NEURODEGENERATIVE BRAIN DISEASE SITE AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20120288447
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a peptide that passes through a blood-brain barrier and targets apoptosis of neurodegenerative brain disease-affected sites and uses thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a composition for delivering drugs to brain tissues, a composition for detecting apoptotic cells of neurodegenerative brain disease-affected sites, and a composition for imaging the neurodegenerative brain disease-affected sites which comprises a peptide having an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID: No. 1 respectively, and a composition for prevention, treatment, or theranosis of neurodegenerative brain diseases comprising said peptide. The peptide of the present invention can be used for detecting apoptosis in neurodegenerative brain diseases and further detecting apoptotic cells (especially apoptotic neuronal cells) in neurodegenerative brain disease-affected sites and imaging, targeted drug delivery, theranosis.
