About

The majority of my patent work is in biopharma, with a focus on cancer therapies and immuno-oncology. I am particularly interested in Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC) technology, and I have supported ADC companies all the way from start-up to first drug approval. In that time I've tracked the development of the ADC sector, and am excited to be a part of it in the current 'golden age' of innovation and value generation.

An important part of that role is developing and executing our I&D strategy, and providing the link between our management team and the groups and individuals whose day-to-day enthusiasm brings our strategy to life. ------------------------------------------------ Another area of interest is the Korean biopharma sector. My interest was kindled during a period of several months living and working in Seoul, where I've made many friends. In the subsequent decade I have had the opportunity to work with a growing number of companies in this dynamic sector, which happily takes me back to Seoul regularly. ------------------------------------------------ If any of these topics chime with you, please reach out to connect. It's always a pleasure to meet new people who share a passion.
