Flora Luo assists the firm in biotechnology patent prosecution. She has extensive knowledge in the areas of genomic screening, cellular and molecular biology.

Prior to joining Wolf Greenfield, Flora was a graduate researcher in the Laboratory of Dr. Levi Garraway at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, where she mapped the landscape of resistance to cell cycle inhibitors in ER+ breast cancer with genomic screens and identified therapeutic strategies to combat resistance to CDK4/6 inhibition. As an undergraduate, she conducted her honors thesis in the Laboratory of Dr. Marianne Wessling-Resnick at the Harvard School of Public Health, where she used chemical genetics to characterize the role of the human hemochromatosis factor in cellular iron homeostasis.
