Technical Specialist
Jin Liang, Ph.D., applies her extensive expertise in biology, biotechnology, and biomedical science to intellectual property (IP) matters. Her work focuses on patent portfolio management, due diligence, opinions, and client counseling related to a broad range of fields, including biotechnology, biologics, small-molecule therapeutics, and gene therapy.
Jin obtained her doctorate through the Graduate Partnership Program co-hosted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the University of Maryland, where she identified candidate therapeutic targets for hearing loss by transcriptome profiling in zebrafish. Prior to joining Finnegan, she worked as a research associate at Cornell University, where she developed cutting-edge high-throughput technologies to characterize the functional impacts of variants in the human genome. Jin also gained technology transfer experience at the Cornell Center for Technology Licensing (CTL).
