Nathan R. Martin
Patent Scientist
Nathan Martin, Ph.D., leverages his extensive knowledge of pathobiology, developmental neurogenetics, and neurotoxicology to help guide health and life sciences clients through the complexities of patent law. He provides technical insight and support throughout the patent prosecution process.
Nathan collaborates closely with attorneys, inventors, and clients to prepare patent applications, conduct prior art research through primary literature and patent searches, and review patent application procedures. His areas of experience include immunology, developmental biology, toxicology, and neuroscience. He is a member of the firm’s Chemical, Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Practice.
Before joining Foley, Nathan worked as a technology specialist at an intellectual property boutique law firm, where he focused on biotechnology patent prosecution.
