IP Litigation Intern at Regeneron | Biochemistry Graduate

Peterborough, England, United Kingdom

About

I'm a First-class Biochemistry graduate with a passion for the intersection of science and law - specifically how intellectual property shapes the future of biotech and life sciences innovation. I am currently completing a year-long IP litigation internship at Regeneron, one of the world's leading biopharmaceutical companies, where I'm gaining first-hand exposure to how IP strategy operates at the highest level of the industry. My scientific background gives me a genuine edge in understanding the technical complexity at the heart of biotech and pharma disputes - from patent claims to regulatory frameworks - and I'm excited to bring that perspective into a legal career. If you work in this space and are open to connecting, I'd love to hear your advise and perspective on the field.
