Dr. Sylwia Jacobsen

Dr. Sylwia Jacobsen is a patent analyst working within the field of life and medical sciences, including biotechnology, biochemistry and molecular medicine. Her specific expertise includes techniques for cell culture, molecular biology, peptide mimetics and biochemistry, flow cytometry, as well as expertise in cell adhesion molecules and protein interactions.

At Laudea, she supports international corporate clients and patent law firms in IP search and analytics, helping clients to make better strategic decisions. Her focus is on clearance/freedom-to-operate/infringement, invalidity/validity, patentability/novelty, and state-of-the-art searches.

As a postdoctoral fellow in Copenhagen, Dr. Jacobsen worked with students, nurses, neurologists, a bioinformatician and NGS specialists, which served to hone her intercultural and international communication skills and customer relationship aptitude.

Dr. Jacobsen’s postdoctoral research focused on preclinical development of new diagnostic and treatment strategies for the neurodegenerative disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This research was an interdisciplinary project merging neurobiology and immunology. Her expertise includes techniques for cell culture, molecular biology, peptide mimetics and biochemistry, flow cytometry as well as expertise in cell adhesion molecules and protein interactions.

She earned her MSc in biotechnology from the Warsaw University of Life Sciences where she worked with genetically modified fungi. She holds a PhD degree in Medical Sciences from the University of Copenhagen. Her PhD project focused on molecular interactions in the neuronal cell membrane and the role of these interactions in health and disease.
