Kai Vincent Slaughter 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).

  • Stabilized assembled nanostructures for delivery of encapsulated agents
    Patent number: 10300023
    Abstract: A non-covalently assembled hydrogel or organo-gel composition with serum stability is described. Low molecular weight (<2,500 Da), generally regarded as safe (GRAS), materials assemble in the presence of a stabilizing agent at an appropriate molar percentage, forming hydrogel or organo-gel with nanostructures that resist disassembly or destabilization in serum for an extended period of time. The composition is used to deliver one or more therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic agents, allowing for controlled release in response to biological stimuli such as enzymes and a greatly improved dosing efficacy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 28, 2019
    Assignee: The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc.
    Inventors: Jeffrey M. Karp, Nitin Joshi, Nikken Wiradharma, Kai Vincent Slaughter
