As a patent attorney with experience working in, representing, and supporting biotech startups, I strive to capture the value of emerging ideas to develop early ventures into world changing technologies. With training in areas of biology as diverse as plant genetics, single-molecule spectroscopy, biomolecular NMR, structural biology, and microbiology, and close familiarity with multiple additional subfields, including classical zoology and marine biology, I can integrate the tools of a wide variety of disciplines to attack problems that may not be soluble by any single approach. In doing so, I work to develop the innovative and robust new technologies that arise from the aggressive cross-pollination of ideas. Specialties: Patent law, licensing, due diligence; spectroscopy, peptide design, biochemistry, nucleic acid chemistry, biomineralization, protein engineering, preclinical drug development, microbiome modulation, biotechnology, dental materials, dental therapeutics, agricultural biotechnology
