I joined D Young & Co in 2016 having previously worked in private practice and having studied at two leading universities. I enjoy being able to apply both my scientific experience and legal knowledge to my work.

I have experience in the drafting and prosecution of patent applications across a range of technical areas including food biotechnology, immunology, diagnostic and therapeutic antibodies, diagnostic assays, recombinant nucleic acid technologies, cell culture, cell isolation, cell based assays and peptide therapeutics.

Prior to entering the patent profession, my doctorate research involved studying interactions between the tumour microenvironment and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia B cells using a variety of techniques including high content mass spectrometry, gene expression profiling and cell based assays.
