Matthew Beyersdorf assists the Biotechnology Group in patent drafting, patent prosecution, due diligence support, IP portfolio management, and freedom-to-operate searching in the areas of molecular and cellular biology, drug development, and genetics. He has extensive knowledge in the areas of protein biochemistry, drug discovery, chemistry of natural products and transcriptional mechanisms of metastatic cancer.

Prior to joining Wolf Greenfield, Matthew earned a doctorate in Chemical Biology at the University of Michigan where his thesis research centered on the discovery of natural products and organic small molecules that modulate transcriptional protein-protein interactions involved in cancer progression. Matthew was responsible for work that led to four high-impact academic publications under preparation for submission, including two first-author manuscripts.

Additionally, Matthew was a Project Manager and the Director of Public Relations at miLEAD Consulting Group, a non-profit consulting firm that provides short-term services to scientists and technology companies in Southeast Michigan.
