Introducing WiSB Women’s Hour – a regular opportunity to learn, share and support women and under represented genders in synthetic biology!

About this event

Intellectual Property – The key things women in synthetic biology need to know

Presenter: Dr Sara Holland, Potter Clarkson

Sara is a Patent Attorney specialising in synthetic biology/biotechnology, supporting passionate, ambitious companies.

Sara studied Biochemistry and Genetics before completing a PhD at the University of Nottingham, engineering an artificial yeast chromosome and developing tools for genome engineering. She then worked as a postdoctoral researcher investigating mechanisms of metal toxicity, and phenotypic heterogeneity in yeast. She left academia 8 years ago to train to become a patent attorney. She is now a UK and European patent attorney working on biotechnological and life sciences inventions, with a particular focus on inventions arising from synthetic biology.

There will be a 30-minute presentation followed by Q/A and then an opportunity to break out into further discussions.
