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, making adaptations to theoretical models of 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 synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles using biomimetic proteins, modelling microbial and mammalian cell growth on implant surfaces, synthesis of smart biomaterials for targeted drug delivery, and design and synthesis of polymeric systems for chronic wound healing applications. I also gained experience writing programs to extract, process and analyse medical imaging data.
As a Trainee Patent Attorney in the UK for the last 4 years, 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 will be undertaking a Masters in Intellectual Property whilst I continue to learn from leaders in the field.
