Two Chemistry & Biochemistry professors were recognized at the Ohio University Inventors Dinner for patents they received.
The dinner recognized individuals who engaged with the university’s Technology Transfer Office over the past year to commercialize their research findings, by protecting their intellectual property through the patent process. Ohio University honored faculty, staff and student inventors for discoveries in areas ranging from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to avionics engineering technologies during an awards ceremony Feb. 7.
Dr. Hao Chen was recognized for receiving a U.S. patent for “Microsecond time-resolved mass spectrometry,” a method for using a mass spectrometer to study the rates at which chemical reactions occur. The method incorporates a liquid sample desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry device developed by the Chen lab.
Dr. Tadeusz Malinski was recognized for receiving a U.S. patent for “Systems and Methods for Promoting Wound Healing.” This invention is a system that provides optimal, efficient and controlled delivery of nitric oxide and carbon monoxide gases, which have been shown to promote accelerated healing. The system would provide tailored delivery rates for nitric oxide and carbon monoxide based on the specific wound type, such as burns, venous ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers, and would not require that the device be in direct physical contact with the damaged skin.
