Elizabeth (Liz) Mulski focuses her practice on US patent prosecution and counseling in the biotechnology space. She has extensive knowledge in the areas of molecular biology and biochemistry.

Prior to joining Wolf Greenfield, Liz was an associate at Jones Day, where she managed several international patent portfolios for a variety of biopharma clients. She also assisted with drafting and revising provisional patent applications as well as with the acquisition diligence for a large pharmaceutical company.


Before becoming an associate, Liz was a legal intern at Wolf Greenfield, Jones Day, and Holland & Knight.

Liz’s doctoral work at Vanderbilt University focused on understanding the novel biological functions of single-stranded DNA protein proteins (SSBPs) in invasive head and neck cancer. In this work, Liz used molecular and biochemical techniques to identify the mechanism by which SSBPs influence local metastatic invasion.
