I work mainly in the life sciences sector, having a strong technical background in biochemistry and physiology and more than 20 years’ experience as a patent attorney. I provide advice on all aspects of the patent process, from patentability opinions, drafting and prosecuting applications, through to opposition at the European Patent Office.I have worked with start-ups, universities and multinational businesses, helping to manage their global portfolio in countries such as US, Japan, and China.My background in biochemistry allows me to provide commercial advice on new physiological technologies for cases covering a range of technologies including diagnostic methods, gene technology, biomass processing, vaccines, pharmaceutical chemistry and mechanical devices.Before joining the profession, I studied the effect of the cytokine Interleukin-6 on the gene expression of heat shock proteins, and the relationship with disease severity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
