Patents by Inventor Kam Chi Yeung

Kam Chi Yeung 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: 6864224
    Abstract: The invention relates to the discovery of a novel amino acid sequence motif, herein termed the RKIP motif, and to the family of proteins defined by the presence of that motif. Proteins comprising the RKIP motif modulate kinases involved in signal transduction pathways. The RKIP motif forms the basis for screening assays for the identification of agents useful for modulating signal transduction pathways subject to RKIP family mediated regulation, and for the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving inappropriate activities of pathways subject to RKIP family medicated regulation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 1, 2000
    Date of Patent: March 8, 2005
    Assignee: Brown University Research Foundation
    Inventors: John M. Sedivy, Walter Kolch, Kam Chi Yeung
  • Publication number: 20040180341
    Abstract: The invention relates to the transcriptional regulation of a family of proteins defined by the presence of an RKIP motif. Proteins comprising the RKIP motif modulate kinases involved in signal transduction pathways. Transcriptional regulation of proteins containing an RKIP motif forms the basis for screening assays for the identification of agents useful for modulating signal transduction pathways subject to RKIP family mediated regulation, and for the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving inappropriate activities of pathways subject to RKIP family mediated regulation.
