Technical Assistant London
Profile of Ben Wood

I joined the biotechnology team at D Young & Co in 2021. I have a strong background in cell and molecular biology, which I enjoy applying to the commercialisation of a diverse range of innovative biotechnologies.

Since joining the firm I have gained experience in European and UK patent prosecution and opposition, providing strategic advice for a range of clients in the field of biotechnology and therapeutics.

Prior to joining D Young & Co I completed a degree in natural sciences (biological) at the University of Cambridge, and continued there to complete a PhD in cell and molecular biology. My research aimed to provide fundamental understanding of the cellular mechanisms that underpin egg activation and meiosis during the egg-to-embryo transition, through detailed study of the actin cytoskeleton.
