Hilde Azijn 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: 8592161
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the field of nucleic acid diagnostics and the identification of base variation in target nucleic acid sequences. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of such genotypic characterization of a target population of HIV and the subsequent association, i.e., correlation, of this information to phenotypic interpretation in order to correlate virus mutational profiles with drug resistance. The invention also relates to methods of utilizing the mutational profiles of the invention in drug development, i.e., drug discovery, drug design, drug modification, and therapy, treatment design, clinical management and diagnostic analysis.

  • Publication number: 20100009341
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and means for the evaluation of HIV treatment. In particular, molecular events at the HIV gag and protease proteins and their effect on therapeutic efficacy of drugs are determined The methods rely on providing HIV gag and protease nucleic acid material and evaluating a treatment either through genotyping or phenotyping. Said method may find use in multiple fields including diagnostics, drug screening, pharmacogenetics and drug development.
