Dr. Katerina Otrubova is a patent agent in the San Diego office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, where she is a member of the firm's patents and innovations practice. She assists with the preparation and prosecution of patent applications in the chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology fields.
Prior to joining the firm, Katerina was a postdoctoral fellow on the drug discovery team of the Skaggs School of Pharmacy at the University of California, San Diego. In this role, she focused on the screening of chemical libraries and on the design and synthesis of organic small molecules for the treatment of infectious diseases. During her doctoral work at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, she developed small molecule inhibitors of fatty acid amide hydrolase, as well as new synthetic methodologies for small molecule libraries.
Katerina is a co-author on 16 peer-reviewed scientific articles and is a co-inventor on one U.S. patent application.
