New Treatments for American Foulbrood: Using the Microbe's Biology Against It
Compounds that can stimulate or inhibit the germination of Paenibacillus larvae. The Invention American Foulbrood (AFB), one of the most devastating diseases in honeybees, is caused by vegetative cells of P. larvae. This bacterial disease is a contributing factor to Colony Collapse Disorder as infected broods die at larval stage once they ingest food...

Synthesizing and investigating novel synthetic cannabidiol congeners for enhanced clinical utility
The Invention: Developed an innovative method to convert caraway-derived (+)-carvone (1, $0.15/g) into (–)- isopiperitenol (3, $1000/g) – a critical intermediate that was previously employed in the synthesis (+)-ent-CBD [(+)-5, Scheme 1]. Of note, this four step process (1 to 3) can be performed on multi-gram scale and relies on the one-pot...
