Rina Nazarov 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).

  • Silk fibroin materials and use thereof
    Patent number: 9132197
    Abstract: The present invention provides processes for producing porous silk fibroin scaffold material. The porous silk fibroin scaffold can be used for tissue engineering. The porosity of the silk fibroin scaffolds described herein can be adjusted as to mimic the gradient of densities found in natural tissue. Accordingly, methods for engineering of 3-dimensional tissue, e.g. bone and cartilage, using the silk fibroin scaffold material are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2013
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2015
    Assignees: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Trustees of Tufts College
    Inventors: David L. Kaplan, Rina Nazarov, Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic, Lorenz Meinel
