PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

  • In-house patent agent at a growing bio-pharma company focused on the treatment of neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis. Managed and developed multiple global patent portfolios and provided due diligence support to Business Development with respect to potential acquisitions and agreements.
  • Law firm technology specialist/ scientific advisor assisting with drafting of applications as well as U.S. and foreign prosecution of matters relating to small molecules, biologics, and various therapeutic areas and technologies, including neuro-inflammatory conditions, inflammatory diseases, biologic synthesis/ manufacturing, and nanotech drug delivery.
  • Post-doctoral joint fellowship with Harvard Medical School/ Massachusetts General Hospital in the chemical biology lab of Dr. Vineet Gupta. Utilized high-throughput sequencing methods for screening chemical libraries to identify small molecules that modulate the biological function of β2 integrins.
