Natasha Christian

Associate - Engineering & Tech Team

"We work on real cases from day one and the training that you receive from the partners and senior associates who supervise you on each case is invaluable."

Technical Assistant - Chemistry Team

"Carpmaels & Ransford is the UK’s leading patent firm and one of the leading firms in Europe - I was excited to be part of a firm at the top of the profession."

Technical Assistant - Engineering & Tech Team

"The atmosphere is social and welcoming, making you feel like a valued member of a community rather than just someone who comes in to do their job."

Associate - Biotechnology Team

"I came across the concept of a patent attorney when attending a talk at university and immediately realised that the nature of the work and the challenges that it would provide were exactly what I was looking for."

Technical Assistant

"Whilst jumping from a physics degree to a career in law requires a steep learning curve, I have felt well supported throughout."

Technical Assistant

"Communication skills are important, as you will not only be working within teams at your firm, but you will also be speaking to clients and patent attorneys in other countries."

Ismaeel Karmani

Technical Assistant

"It’s all not work and study – Carpmaels has a number of interesting and engaging clubs and projects to get involved with."

"There are always new things to learn, whether it be developments in technology or keeping up to date with changes in patent law and practice."

Alexandra Drewe

Technical Assistant

"In her final year project she used data obtained from oral-based accelerometers to present a method based on the cross correlation coefficient for quantitatively measuring the synchronisation of athletes during physical activity."

Anaïs Cassaignau

Technical Assistant

"During her PhD and postdoc, Anaïs studied how proteins – the workhorses of the cell – collapse into their functional folds while they are synthesised by ribosomes."

Technical Assistant

"His master’s research focussed on using structural phylogenetic methods for the discovery of novel members of the human cysteine protease enzyme superfamily."

Technical Assistant

"Corey completed a placement year at GlaxoSmithKline, where he conducted a research project focussed on developing and optimising a high-throughput, cell imaging-based assay to assess phospholipidosis."

Danija Tobatajewa

Technical Assistant

"For her laboratory project, she assessed the impact of chemical modifications on the efficacy of the next generation of RNA vaccines."

Technical Assistant

"Emma focused on medicinal chemistry for her final year research project, which involved synthesising a prodrug based on a thiamine monophosphate analogue and evaluating its potential as an antimicrobial agent."

Grace La Piccirella

Technical Assistant

"Grace’s expertise extends to a comprehensive understanding of immunotherapies including mRNA vaccines, CAR-T cells, antibody therapies, and immune checkpoint inhibitors."

James Devine-Stoneman

Technical Assistant

"His doctoral research focused on superconducting spintronics; controlling spin phenomena in the superconducting state for computing applications."

Jennifer Milligan

Technical Assistant

"Her doctoral research focused on investigating the mechanisms of replication-coupled parental nucleosome recycling using an in vitro reconstituted chromatin replication system of purified proteins."

Technical Assistant

"Jonathan characterised the enzyme target of a chemical inhibitor that was shown to restore chromatin structure, increase nuclear membrane integrity and extend lifespan in cell and mouse models of a rare premature ageing disease."

Technical Assistant

"Jessica has also worked within a research group which uses fragment-based drug discovery to develop lead compounds against Mycobacterium Tuberculosis and Mycobacterium Abscessus."

Senior Associate

"There’s a genuinely collaborative atmosphere at the firm, with someone available to provide help with issues as they arise."
