Kyle Kurpinski 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).

  • BIOMIMETIC SCAFFOLDS
    Publication number: 20160325013
    Abstract: The invention provides a composition comprising a nanofiber polymer in which the fibers of the nanofiber polymer arc aligned, and a molecule is covalcntly attached, either directly or through a linker, to the nanofiber polymer. This molecule is capable of either covalently or non-covalently attaching to a member selected from an extracellular matrix component, a growth factor, and combinations thereof. The invention also provides methods of making the composition and methods of using the compositions to add new tissue to a subject, such as a human.
