Publication number: 20200398049Abstract: A delivery system for local drug delivery to a target site of internal body tissue is provided. The delivery system comprises a source electrode adapted to be positioned proximate to a target site of internal body tissue. A counter electrode is in electrical communication with the source electrode, and is configured to cooperate with the source electrode to form a localized electric field proximate to the target site. A reservoir is configured to be disposed such that the reservoir is capable of interacting with the localized electric field. The reservoir is configured to carry a cargo capable of being delivered to the target site when exposed to the localized electric field. Associated methods are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2020Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventors: Joseph DeSimone, Mary Napier, Jonathan Pillai, James Byrne, Lukas Miller Roush, Jen Jen Yeh, Matt Parrott

Patent number: 10828016Abstract: According to an embodiment, the present subject matter describes a device for delivery of one or more fluids in to a target site. The fluid delivery device (100) includes a housing (105, 205), a shaft (110), which may 125 be disposed inside the housing (105, 205) to form at least one fluid chamber (115, 210) therebetween. Further, the fluid chamber (115, 210) is adapted to receive the one or more fluids. The fluid delivery device (100) further includes a plunger (120, 225) provided at a first end (125) of the housing (105, 205). The plunger (120, 225) may be coupled to the shaft (110) and may be adapted to move inside the housing (105, 205) to deliver the one or more fluids to the target site (405).Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Secretary, Department of BiotechnologyInventors: Siraj Bagwan, Jonathan Pillai, Hanish Sharma, Pramod Garg, Govind Makharia

Patent number: 10363019Abstract: A biopsy needle, a biopsy needle assembly and methods to perform biopsy are disclosed. The biopsy needle includes a primary needle section formed as a hollow tube; a converging section accurately converging from a wall of the hollow tube of a first end of the primary needle section to form a piercing tip; a secondary needle section; and a body. The converging section of the biopsy needle further includes an opening on a lateral wall having a third cutting edge. The body of the biopsy needle is coupled to a second end of the primary needle section and may be coupled to an actuator to control a linear and a rotational movement of the biopsy needle.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2013Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Secretary, Department of BiotechnologyInventors: Siraj Bagwan, Siddhartha Joshi, Jagdish Chaturvedi, Jonathan Pillai, Pramod Garg, Govind Makharia, Hanish Sharma, P.V.M.

Publication number: 20160136093Abstract: An engineered aerosol particle for use in aerosol applications is provided. The engineered aerosol particle comprises a fabricated nanoparticle body member being non-spherical. The fabricated nanoparticle body member is configured to provide at least one of auto-rotation, tumbling, or lift when entrained in an airstream to thereby increase settling time of the fabricated nanoparticle body member. An associated method is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2015Publication date: May 19, 2016Inventors: Philip DeSimone, Benjamin Maynor, Mary Napier, Jonathan Pillai, Joseph M. DeSimone, Will Patrick, Kyle Laaker, Hanjun Zhang

Publication number: 20160081674Abstract: The present subject matter relates to a biopsy needle assembly (102) for performing biopsy. In one implementation, the biopsy needle assembly (102) includes a biopsy needle (106) which further includes a primary needle section (202), formed as a hollow tube, where the primary needle section (202) comprises a first end and a second end; a converging section (204) arcuately converging from wall of the hollow tube of the first end of the primary needle section to form a piercing tip (108). The converging section (208) further includes an opening on lateral wall to form cutting edges to extract the tissue sample. The biopsy needle (106) also includes a body (208) coupled to the second end of the primary needle section (202), where wherein the body (208) may be adapted for coupling to an actuator to initiate a movement of biopsy needle (106).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2013Publication date: March 24, 2016Inventors: Siraj Bagwan, Siddhartha Joshi, Jagdish Chaturvedi, Jonathan Pillai, Pramod Garg, Govind Makharia, Hanish Sharma, P.V.M.
