Taylor Canady, Ph.D.

Associate
Boston

I focus on providing patent protection strategies, procurement, and management to emerging and established life science companies.

Dr. Taylor Canady partners with emerging and established life science companies in protecting their valuable IP through all stages of the business life cycle – from initial filing to exit. His practice includes patent prosecution, freedom-to-operate analysis, patentability analysis, IP license due diligence, and competitive intelligence collection. 

Taylor has extensive experience in gene editing therapies, siRNA therapies, peptide therapies, antibody and cellular immunotherapies, single cell sequencing, and stem cell technology.  

Taylor earned his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University as a McWilliams Fellow where he studied peptide nucleic acid gene regulation and nucleic acid nanotechnology applications. After his Ph.D., he was an Institute for Genomic Biology Fellow at University of Illinois where he developed several innovations which spanned ultra specific nucleic acid detection, single molecule imaging diagnostics, and a new label free imaging modality. This work has been published in well regarded journals such as JACS, PNAS, Nature Comm., Lab on a Chip, ACS Photonics, and ACS Nano.
