Emily Pitsch

Emily Pitsch is a patent agent who leverages her strong multidisciplinary background in biochemistry, molecular biology, and chemical research to support clients in protecting their innovations. Her scientific training spans cellular biology, cancer-related molecular mechanisms, and materials chemistry, providing her with a deep technical foundation for preparing patent applications in the life sciences and related fields.

Emily’s early research at the University of San Diego began in the laboratory of Dr. Lauren Benz, where she studied the gas adsorption and desorption properties of the metal organic framework, ZIF-8. She later studied molecular biology research under Dr. Joseph Provost, focusing on a fatty-acid modification of the sodium–hydrogen exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1), a protein implicated in cancer development and metastasis. Emily continued her scientific training in graduate school at the University of Utah, where her dissertation research explored the mechanisms of amino acid toxicity in budding yeast.

With a strong foundation in both chemical and biological sciences, Emily brings scientific experience, analytical depth, and clear communication to her work in intellectual property.
