Background

Dr. Allen Everett is a professor of pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His areas of clinical expertise include general pediatric cardiology. 

Dr. Everett earned his M.D. from East Tennessee State University. He completed his residency in pediatrics and fellowship in pediatric cardiology at the University of Virginia. Dr. Everett joined the Johns Hopkins faculty in 2003.

He has become the program leader at Johns Hopkins in pediatric biomarker discovery, with a particular focus on brain injury, pulmonary hypertension and effects of medical plastics exposure on congenital heart disease outcomes.  He is the principal investigator (PI) or co-PI on multiple NIH- funded R01 studies. Dr. Everett also serves as the director of the Pediatric Proteome Center.

Dr. Everett is an author of over 140 peer review papers, three book chapters, editor/author of the Illustrated Field Guide to Congenital Heart Disease and Repair, now in its fourth edition, and senior associate editor for the journal, Cardiology in the Young. He is a co-developer of PedCathTM cardiac catheterization software with Scientific Software Solutions which has been translated into five languages, has five US biomarker patents filed and brain injury biomarkers licensed to ImmunArray, Ltd.

Patents

A Multi-protein Biomarker Assay for Brain Injury Detection and Outcome
Patent # WO2015009907 A1 | 01/22/2015

The present invention relates to the field of brain injuries. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and compositions useful in the diagnosis/prognosis/assessment of brain injuries. In a specific embodiment, a method for identifying which patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) require a head computerized tomography (CT) scan for diagnosing acute intracranial pathology comprises the steps of (a) obtaining or collecting a sample from the patient; (b) measuring the levels of one or more biomarkers in the blood sample obtained from the patient, wherein the biomarkers comprise glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), S100B, metallothionein 3 (MT3), neuron specific enolase (NSE) and intracellular adhesion molecule 5 (ICAM5); and (c) identifying the patient as requiring or not requiring a head CT scan based on the measured levels of one or more of biomarkers comprising GFAP, S100B, MT3, NSE and ICAM5.

Biosensor Systems and Related Methods for Detecting Analytes in Aqueous and Biological Environments
Patent # US20140349005 A1 | 11/27/2014

Disclosed herein are biosensor systems and related methods for detecting analytes in aqueous and biologic environments. A biosensor system for detecting binding of an analyte of interest may include a detector configured to detect a change in an electrical property on a surface thereof. The detector may be a FET. The system also may include a passive layer disposed on a top surface of the detector. Further, the system may include a hydrophobic layer disposed on the passive layer. The system also may include a receptor-attachment material configured for binding to an analyte. A receptor may bind to the analyte, and the receptor may be attached to the receptor-attachment material. The binding of the analyte to the receptor can cause the change of the electrical property at the surface. In response to the change for example, a current may change for indicating the binding of the analyte to the receptor.

Assay Reagents for a Neurogranin Diagnostic Kit
Patent # US20140141458 A1 | 05/22/2014

The present invention relates to the field of biomarkers. More specifically, the present invention relates to assay reagents useful in detecting neurogranin. In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides an isolated antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds to neurogranin. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a polynucleotide aptamer that specifically binds neurogranin.
