Patents by Inventor Michael Daro Buschmann

Michael Daro Buschmann 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: 20260191796
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of increasing the potency of nucleic acid loaded lipid nanoparticles (naLNPs) through certain novel and surprisingly superior LNP manufacturing techniques. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing naLNPs manufactured according to the manufacturing methods described herein. The methods disclosed herein overcome major technical difficulties and high costs associated with previous LNP manufacturing techniques. The methods disclosed herein, therefore, greatly improve the industrial production of LNPs in unexpected ways thereby providing more potent naLNPs for nucleic acid delivery. Specifically, the invention disclosed herein are methods that show increased potency naLNPs due to increased mixing concentration of the lipids and mRNA during assembly.

  • Patent number: 12576040
    Abstract: The invention encompasses novel ionizable lipids compounds and their use in lipid nanoparticles delivery systems that are useful in the delivery of nucleic acids to a mammalian subject that can be included for use, for example, as cancer vaccines, gene editing therapeutics, delivery of nucleic acid (e.g., mRNA) encoding antibodies, vaccines for infectious disease, and protein replacement therapeutics. Additionally, the invention encompasses compositions and therapeutics comprising the ionizable lipids in the lipid nanoparticles and the use of the composition and therapeutics for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition, especially a vaccine, (e.g., for use in the prophylaxis or treatment of infectious diseases, tumor or cancer diseases, rare diseases, allergies, or autoimmune diseases). The invention encompasses methods of treatment or prophylaxis of the aforementioned diseases.
