What I'm looking for

I seek IP-focused roles where I can apply patent searching and drafting skills alongside biotechnology research experience, in collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am a patent executive with a strong six-year scientific research background in biotechnology, experienced in patentability, prior art, landscape, FTO and design searches, and drafting. I have contributed to development of diagnostic assays, conducted molecular and immunological experiments, and authored multiple scientific publications.

My experience spans industry and research institutions where I led systematic experimental planning, sample screening, data analysis and documentation, and supported IP activities including patent landscaping and drafting detailed reports to track project progress.
