Yasmin is a European qualified patent attorney in our Life Sciences & Chemistry team. Her practice spans a range of technologies including gene editing, biologics, and cross-sector technologies such as bioinformatics and medical devices.
She works with clients at various stages of growth, from early-stage start-ups to established biotech companies, helping to build and manage global patent portfolios. She brings both technical and commercial insight to her work, and enjoys working closely with clients to strengthen their IP positions in view of their business strategies. Her experience includes managing the prosecution of complex patent portfolios and supporting due diligence and freedom-to-operate exercises during critical investment processes and commercial transactions.
Yasmin holds degrees in Biochemistry from the University of Leeds (BSc) and the Berlin Freie Universität (MSc). Before entering the patent profession, Yasmin held research positions at the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology, where she investigated regulatory networks in cancer via multi-omics approaches, and the Berlin Freie Universität, where she used CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to study cellular anion channels.
Outside of work, Yasmin enjoys practising and teaching yoga - something she enjoys sharing with colleagues.
