Overview

Andrew Mathis assists the firm in biotechnology patent drafting, prosecution, and counseling. He works with clients in many technology areas, including cell therapy, protein biologics, gene editing, nanoparticles, antisense oligonucleotides, DNA sequencing, and bioinformatics. He has extensive knowledge in the areas of CRISPR interference, continuous culture, Illumina DNA sequencing, systems biology, molecular biology, and proteomics mass spectrometry. Andrew also has significant experience in computational biology and bioinformatics.

Prior to joining Wolf Greenfield, Andrew was a graduate student in Kimberly A. Reynolds’ laboratory at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. His research focused on developing an assay for high-throughput, gradated knockdown of gene expression using CRISPR interference and next-generation sequencing. In addition to his lab work, Andrew was a volunteer reviewer for the Journal of Emerging Investigators.
