Patents by Inventor Weimen Wang

Weimen Wang 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).

  • RNA interference mediated inhibition of gene expression using chemically modified short interfering nucleic acid (siNA)
    Publication number: 20080039414
    Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and reagents useful in modulating gene expression in a variety of applications, including use in therapeutic, diagnostic, target validation, and genomic discovery applications. Specifically, the invention relates to synthetic chemically modified small nucleic acid molecules, such as short interfering nucleic acid (siNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) molecules capable of mediating RNA interference (RNAi) against target nucleic acid sequences. The small nucleic acid molecules are useful in the treatment of any disease or condition that responds to modulation of gene expression or activity in a cell, tissue, or organism.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 23, 2003
    Publication date: February 14, 2008
    Inventors: James McSwiggen, Bharat Chowrira, Leonid Beigelman, Dennis Macejak, Shawn Zinnen, Pamela Pavco, Peter Haeberli, David Morrisey, Kathy Fosnaugh, Sharon Jamison, Nassim Usman, James Thompson, Chandra Vargeese, Weimen Wang, Tongqian Chen, Narendra Vaish
