Leigh Guerin
Leigh has a Bachelor in Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, a Graduate Certificate in Science and Technology Commercialisation, a PhD in Medicine and a Masters in Intellectual Property Law.
As an honours and PhD student, Leigh worked in the field of reproductive immunology specialising in mechanisms of immune tolerance. Having completed his PhD at the Adelaide University, Leigh travelled to Boston and took up a postdoctoral research position in the Department for Stem Cell & Regenerative Biology at Harvard University where he studied lipid antigen presentation by macrophages.
Having always had an interest in the commercialization of research, and the translation of basic science into practical outcomes, Leigh took an opportunity in 2011 to move from research and into the field of intellectual property whilst at the same time moving back home to Adelaide. Leigh now works as a Patent Attorney specializing in biotechnology and works with clients to identify and protect their inventions.
