Patents by Inventor Laura Penny

Laura Penny 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).

  • Genotyping the human UDP-glucuronosyl transferase 1 (UGT1) gene
    Publication number: 20030157517
    Abstract: Genetic polymorphisms are identified in the human UGT1 gene that alter UGT1-dependent drug metabolism. Nucleic acids comprising the polymorphic sequences are used to screen patients for altered metabolism for UGT1 substrates, potential drug-drug interactions, and adverse/side effects, as well as diseases that result from environmental or occupational exposure to toxins. The nucleic acids are used to establish animal, cell and in vitro models for drug metabolism.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 18, 2002
    Publication date: August 21, 2003
    Applicant: DNA Sciences Laboratories, Inc.
    Inventors: Laura Penny, Margaret Galvin
  • Genotyping the human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7) gene
    Patent number: 6586175
    Abstract: Genetic polymorphisms are identified in the human UGT2B4, UGT2B7 and UGT2B15 genes that alter UGT2B activity. Nucleic acids comprising the polymorphic sequences are used to screen patients for altered metabolism for UGT2B substrates, potential drug-drug interactions, and adverse/side effects, as well as diseases that result from environmental or occupational exposure to toxins. The nucleic acids are used to establish animal, cell and in vitro models for drug metabolism.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 1999
    Date of Patent: July 1, 2003
    Assignee: DNA Sciences Laboratories, Inc.
    Inventors: Margaret Galvin, Andrew Miller, Laura Penny, Michael Riedy
