Daniel H. Geschwind, Santa Monica, CA US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090163406COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING AND TREATING BRAIN CANCER AND IDENTIFYING NEURAL STEM CELLS - In one aspect, the invention provides composition and methods for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of tumors and cancers, e.g., brain cancers. In one aspect, the invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting the growth, proliferation, differentiation and/or survival of a neural stem cell or a cancer cell, or progenitor stem cell thereof. In one aspect, the invention provides compositions and methods for identifying the genetic profile of a brain cancer cell or a self-renewing neural cancer stem cell. In one aspect, the invention provides methods employing these profiles to identify compounds that inhibit tumor growth.06-25-2009
20100125042PERIPHERAL GENE EXPRESSION BIOMARKERS FOR AUTISM - The disclosed invention comprises methods and materials for screening cells for genetic profiles associated with autism spectrum disorders. The methods typically involve isolating a cell from an individual and then observing the expression profile of one or more genes in the cell, wherein certain expression patterns of the genes observed are associated with autism spectrum disorders.05-20-2010
20100267020GENETIC RISK FACTOR FOR NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE - The present invention relates to single base polymorphisms in the glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta and risk for developing neurodegenerative disease.10-21-2010
