Laurence Rustom assists the firm in biotechnology patent prosecution. She has extensive knowledge in the areas of small molecule/antibody/gene/cell therapies, drug formulation, immune checkpoint inhibitors, immuno-modulators, drug delivery vehicles, micro/nanofluidics, biosensors, medical implants.

Prior to joining Wolf Greenfield, she worked as a project manager at Global Prior Art, where she collaborated with client IP attorneys and R&D teams on patent invalidity, patentability, freedom-to-operate and due diligence searches. During graduate school, Laurence designed and conducted in vitro cell culture experiments and two in vivo studies on a pig mandible model to evaluate and enhance bone regeneration in above-critical size bone defects.
