Alessandra Gotbaum
Vineet Kohli
For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of working on various patents in the biology space including cell biology, cell-based assays, gene editing, recombinant genetics, and bioprocessing including process engineering. I have worked at several large companies such as Merck, Johnson and Jonson, and Roche as well as small companies such as Lundbeck Research USA and biotech startups. As a result of these experiences, I have a seasoned perspective on how to be a strategic business partner albeit with a patent law background in various industries such as Pharmaceuticals, Diagnostics, Medical devices, and the food industry.
I always wanted to be a story teller, which I believe is what prompted me to seek a career in the patent field. As patent attorney, I can tell a story of a discovery (the patent specification) that began in the lab and thereafter provide a compelling reason as to how it would benefit society and those in need of the discovery. I have a graduate degree in cell biology, and I am a registered patent attorney.
