Alexander Cherkasky Dipl.-Biol. (MSc.) Alexander Cherkasky Tel: +49 (0)211 482179 Email: alexcherkasky@googlemail.com The Independent highlighted in the article “Silicon Valley: The anatomy of a cutting-edge start-up” ( by Mike Hodgkinson, Sunday 14 August, 2011) the company Halcyon Molecular. This company was founded in 2008 by brothers William and Michael Andregg in the Redwood City, California and worked with financial support of Co-Founders of Paypal and Founders Fund Peter Thiel, Luke Nosek and Co-Founder of SpaceX and Tesla Motors Elon Musk, as well as investor Dan Gould. Halcyon Molecular was working on law cost DNA sequencing technologies and has quietly ceased operations and quietly gone away, according to the small article in GigaOM Pro “Halcyon Molecular quietly shuts down” (published on August 19, 2012). William and Michael Andregg told to The Independent, that they are not biologists, read books on molecular biology since 2001, dreamed to create cures for various diseases to provide technologies for space exploration and to “solve the problems in biology: DNA sequencing is the grate problem of our time.” They stated, that they invented a “threader” – a unique device to stretch and position single strands of DNA on a surface” and that they invented a “simple”, new technology for sequencing of “larger pieces”, i.e. (stretched) long DNA sequences by using electron microscopy. Their proposal was highlighted in the article of Eric Schadt et al in the list of references in the article “DNA sequencing” in Wikipedia as “Future Methods.” Interesting are the following facts and especially similarities. On April 2, 2010 “inventors” William and Michael Andregg filed the United States Patent Application entitled “Sequencing nucleic acid polymers with election microscopy.” The assignee was Halcyon Molecular. They wanted directly inspect and sequence stretched DNA. The US Patent US8153438 “Sequencing nucleic acid polymers with electron microscopy” was issued on April 10, 2012 by error of examiner, but the examiner found and cited in this US Patent US8153438 my prior German patent document DE19937512 entitled “Verfahren und Gerät zur schnellen Genom-Sequenzierung durch Linearisierung oder Auseianderziehen der DNA” i.e. “Method and Device/Apparatus for Fast Genome Sequencing through Linearization or Streching the DNA” (filed on August 09, 1999, published on February 15, 2001 and the patent was issued/granted on August 24, 2006). I.e. “Future methods” in America were already “Past methods” in Germany. The difference between the patent of the Andreggs and my patent was not explained in the patent of the Andreggs, especially the difference that would make the Andregg’s patent US8153438 new and inventive. And the brothers Andregg did not contacted me, especially after the examiner with the USPTO sent them the number of my basis patent DE19937512. Also “their” invention of the “threader” is not new and not inventive, especially because of my previous description in my German patent application DE10333389 (0053, 0054 (stretching DNA for sequencing and on the surface stretched DNA for sequencing) and Fig. 10 D). On April 27, 2012 I have published the blog “Feasibility of Alexander Cherkasky’s Inventions of Novel Antiautoimmune and Anticancer Fusion Proteins and Technologies for Fast, Simple and Inexpensive DNA and Complete Genome Sequencing” http://feasibilityofalexandercherkaskysinven.blogspot.de/ where I have written also about Halcyon Molecular, that their “invention(s)” are in reality not new and not inventive. And after few months, in August 2012, it was reported, that Halcyon Molecular quietly ceased operations and gone away. Halcyon Molecular worked plagiaristically, but they did not fully understood my inventions, especially by comparison their bodies with molecules (in their interview with The Independent). William and Michael Andregg told to The Phenomlist, that they “developed the technology to grab individual strands of DNA, stretch them out, and place them wherever they wanted - which is the core polymer placement technology that Halcyon Molecular is built upon”. This technology, they claimed as their own, was disclosed earlier in my patent documents DE19929530, DE19937512 and DE10333389. Surprisingly are also some similarities between my story and the story, Andreggs presented: I, award-winning and media-highlighted inventor and biologist, worked since early youth theoretically for solutions of biological problems, created cures, and other innovative biomedical solutions, that were corroborated by others both with and without references to my name and my original published patent documents. For example, Spanish inventors Julian Miguel Blanco Arbues, Jorge Carrillo Molina and Marta Curriu Marti (Laboratorios del Dr. Esteve and Fundacio Privada Institut de Recerca de la SIDA-Caixa) referenced in the European Patent Application EP2447277A1 “Vaccine compositions based on modified gp41 immunogens” (vaccines against HIV/AIDS) my international patent application WO2006/136892 as basis invention. This my patent application WO2006136892 “Novel Cherkasky Fusion Proteins Containing Antibody Binding Proteins or the Regions thereof” comprises my patent application WO2005/040382 “Cherkasky Fusion Proteins Containing Antibody-, Antigen- and Microtubule-Binding Regions and Immune Response-Triggering Regions” and DE10350131 “Fusion Proteins Containing Antibody Binding Regions and Microtubule-Binding Regions”. These inventions can be used against cancer, inflammations and viral infections and this published group of molecules can be used both for therapy and diagnosis! I participated on scientific competitions, got awards and was highlighted in the media. About me reported also Stern (The Star, March 25, 1999), the most popular magazine in Germany. I was awarded the Bronze Medal and the Honorary Certificate of the largest international inventors competition in Germany IENA (Ideas-Inventions-New Products) 2003 in Nuremberg. I have 8 German patents, 5 international patent applications, 5 US patent applications, and over 35 German patent applications. I created not only fast genome sequencing systems, diagnostic systems, solutions for prolongation/extension of cell lifes and inventions of anticancer, antiautoimmune, antiasthma, and anti-inflammatory cures and cures for regeneration of damaged tissues, especially nerve tissues, but also inventions of new composite materials, construction materials, improved photovoltaics products and technologies for large-scale industrial manufacturing of synthetic diamonds of high quality. I.e. I created and create solutions for space exploration. Everybody who is interested to make joint business based on my proposed published inventions is wellcome to contact me.
