Practice Areas:
Patent Prosecution: Biotechnology and Chemistry
Summary of Practice:
Angela Domitrovich is a patent agent with experience in the general areas biochemistry, molecular biology, and biotechnology. Her practice area includes all aspects of domestic and foreign patent prosecution including patent preparation and prosecution and due diligence of patent portfolios in the areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, virology, nutraceuticals, therapeutic methods and plant genetic engineering. Angela obtained her Ph.D. in Biochemistry/Biophysics from Texas A&M University where she undertook the characterization of transcriptional promoters for different RNA genes to understand the transcriptional control mechanisms in diverse organisms in relation to a particular promoter element found in each. Angela further conducted post-doctoral research as a National Institutes of Health Fellow at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center on the role of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in lipid metabolism (cholesterol and fatty acids) and the regulation on HCV replication, with an emphasis on the role of liver cell proteins in HCV gene expression.
