Philip S. Choi, Ph.D.
Technology Specialist
Boston
Dr. Philip Choi brings to his intellectual property work extensive life sciences research and teaching experience at two prestigious universities. As a graduate student with Dr. Catherine Dulac, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Harvard University Molecular and Cellular Biology Department, Cambridge, MA (2002-2007), he investigated the functions of microRNAs during the developmental regulation of olfactory neurogenesis in both mouse and zebrafish model systems using transgenic, exo utero electroporation and morpholino-mediated gene knockdown strategies. From 1999 to 2001 at the UCLA Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology Department, Los Angeles, CA, Philip worked as an undergraduate research investigator with Dr. Robert Goldberg. In that capacity he explored the role of morphogenetic factors involved in cell specification events that dictate differential developmental pathways during seed development using microarray, bioinformatic and reverse genetic strategies. At both universities he also led discussion sessions and managed laboratory experiments in the area of molecular biology. SPEECHES AND CONFERENCES
