How many are aware of Peregrine RNA sequence library?

Has Roche filed patents AFTER PS Targeting collaborations with Peregrine or even seeing data based upon results of PS Targeting data..

Owen Solberg.....may have some answers but again, ALL patents filed AFTER any group has been collaborating with PS Targeting / data etc will clearly then know what was once not known....now known

Has Peregrine filed legal claims for any such patents?

oct 2 ...Wearable sensors, early cancer detection, bright future of microneedle-based sensors

For many applications the researchers envision, the biomarker sensors would be on the very tip of the microneedle to allow continual detection of the conditions inside the body. Future studies will use larger needle arrays to increase sample volume. For other applications, such as early cancer detection, collecting the interstitial fluid may take longer than a standard blood draw, but could provide different clues.

Future work includes testing the tip-based sensors in people — they’ve already shown it works well in solutions — and then monitoring the lactate levels in people undergoing strenuous exercise.

In June, the researchers announced interest in business partners to help integrate the microneedle sensors into a self-contained device. The ultimate goal of commercialization or a partnership with industry would be to get technology to the market in a way that benefits the public.

The initial work on the sensor was funded by Sandia’s Laboratory Directed Research and Development program. The U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency is funding the human studies.
