About
I am an IP & Licensing Manager for King's Innovation Catalyst. My role includes intellectual property protection, portfolio management, out-licensing for pre-clinical research and clinical-stage opportunities at King's.
Following a PhD in molecular genetics from Imperial College London and post-doctoral position at Harvard Medical School (Boston, Mass, USA), and then a scientific position in biotech at GenPharm International (Mountain View, California, USA), I worked as a Senior Licensing Associate in technology transfer at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital associated with Harvard Medical School. I then held the position of Academic Liaison in the Business Development group at UCB Pharma (Slough, UK) for five years before joining King’s College London in 2010.
