2010 Major: Biology and Philosophy; certificate in Bioinformatics
"Although I went to law school right after receiving my BA in Biology, I spent the first seven years of my legal career working on patent cases for multinational corporations in China that are mostly in the pharmaceutical industry. In that time, I developed my skills and my reputation in Chinese intellectual property law. Eventually, I was able to transition into my current position as an in-house counsel for a university press in Beijing. But for my background in Biology and the opportunity to enter the legal profession as a patent lawyer, I doubt I would have been able to break into the world of intellectual property law."
