Nick Upright is a patent agent in the New York office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, where he is a member of the patents and innovations group.
Prior to joining the firm, Nick completed his doctoral training at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai where he gained extensive experience in behavioral and biological sciences. As a graduate student in the neuroscience department, he used chemogenetic and pharmacological technologies in a nonhuman primate model to study the role of neuromodulatory circuits in cognition and working memory. In addition, he examined how modulation of cholinergic signaling impacts age-related cognitive deficits and connectivity dynamics.
