ToshiyasuIshiokaWebToshiyasu Ishioka received his PhD from the University of Tokyo in apoptosis-associated proteins and completed his postdoctoral research at the Cell Growth and Regulation Laboratory, Institute of Molecular and Cellular Bioscience at the University of Tokyo.
Dr. Ishioka’s broad knowledge of pharmaceutical sciences, based on a deep understanding of pharmaceuticals and organic chemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry is a great asset in many situations, including prosecution of patents, infringement lawsuits, and license negotiations. He is also an expert in patent term extension. He joined the firm in 2006.
