Dr. Minyoung Shin is an associate in the patents and innovations practice in the San Diego office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. Her practice focuses on strategic patent counseling for clients in life sciences and biotechnology industries, including due diligence, freedom to operate, patentability, invalidity, non-infringement analyses, and day-to-day patent prosecutions. She has counseled clients in the area of personalized cancer immunotherapy, diagnostic microarrays, biomedical devices, and nutraceutical supplements.
Prior to joining the firm, Minyoung was an associate at Umberg Zipser in Irvine. Minyoung earned her Ph.D. in neuroscience from Northwestern University and focused on molecular and cellular mechanisms of epilepsy. After graduation, she worked at the Salk Institute/Howard Hughes Medical Institute as a postdoctoral associate, where she researched vestibulo-ocular reflex and cerebellar learning and memory mechanism using electrophysiology.
Minyoung is fluent in Korean.
