  • Processes for producing protein microparticles
    Patent number: 10485762
    Abstract: Processes and apparatuses for producing biologically-active, protein-rich microparticles under ambient conditions are disclosed. A protein solution is atomized and collected in a dehydration solvent that is being mixed. The resulting protein microparticles retain high specific activity without the need for large amounts of stabilizing excipients.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 28, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 26, 2019
    Assignee: BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE
    Inventors: Trevor Petrel, Craig Bartling, Lena Furci, Carrie Howland

  • Heme oxygenase inhibitors, screening methods for heme oxygenase inhibitors and methods of use of heme oxygenase inhibitors for antimicrobial therapy
    Patent number: 8450368
    Abstract: Inhibitors of microbial heme oxygenase and their use for treatment of microbial infections and bioremediation. The inhibitors of microbial heme oxygenase are useful against a new class of antimicrobial agents to target infections that are persistently difficult to combat with the current spectrum of antimicrobial agents. Screening methods for selecting inhibitors of microbial heme oxygenase.
