I am a Trainee Patent Attorney working in the Chemistry team at Wrays, and I have always been fascinated with the interface between the physical and biological sciences.
I graduated with a First Class Masters degree in Chemistry from the University of Sheffield with a major research project in quantum chemistry, studying molecular conduction.
I went on to undertake a Masters in Physical Sciences from the University of Birmingham, focussing on the interface between chemical, physical, biomedical and computer science.
My research projects have included:
- Designing and testing electrospun sol-gel polymeric systems for wound healing applications;
- Synthesising environmentally triggered smart polymer nanoparticles;
- Designing and testing hydrogel scaffolds for use in oral musoca models; and
- Synthesising magnetic nanoparticles using biomimetic proteins.
During my 4 years as a Trainee Patent Attorney in the UK and in my current position here at Wrays, I have been involved in drafting and prosecuting patent applications across a variety of technical fields in the areas of chemistry and physical sciences. I have assisted a broad range of clients, from individuals and SMEs, to universities and large multinational corporations.
I am thrilled to be a member of the accomplished team of attorneys here at Wrays – and I am currently undertaking a Masters in Intellectual Property whilst I continue to learn from leaders in the field.
