Kevin Vervier 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).

  • Publication number: 20230346850
    Abstract: The invention relates to bacterial compositions useful in the treatment of cancer. In particular, the compositions can be used as a co-therapy with an immune checkpoint therapy. The invention also relates to methods for identifying a subject that will respond to therapy with an immune checkpoint inhibitor comprising determining the abundance of bacteria in a biological sample from said subject.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20190267226
    Abstract: A method of identifying by spectrometry unknown microorganisms from among a set of reference species, including a first step of supervised learning of a classification model of the reference species, a second step of predicting an unknown microorganism to be identified, including acquiring a spectrum of the unknown microorganism; and inferring from said spectrum and to the classification model at least one type of microorganism to which the unknown microorganism belong. The classification model is calculated by means of a structured multi-class SVM algorithm applied to the nodes of a tree-like hierarchical representation of the reference species in terms of evolution and/or of clinical phenotype and having margin constraints including so-called “loss” functions quantifying a proximity between the tree nodes.

  • Publication number: 20150051840
    Abstract: A method of identifying by spectrometry of unknown microorganisms from among a set of reference species, including a first step of supervised learning of a classification model of the reference species, a second step of predicting an unknown microorganism to be identified, including acquiring a spectrum of the unknown microorganism; and applying a prediction model according to said spectrum and to the classification model to infer at least one type of microorganism to which the unknown microorganism belong. The classification model is calculated by a structured multi-class SVM algorithm applied to the nodes of a tree-like hierarchical representation of the reference species in terms of evolution and/or of clinical phenotype and having margin constraints including so-called “loss” functions quantifying a proximity between the tree nodes.
