Isadora F. Bielsky, Ph.D. skillfully guides life sciences clients, bringing a particular focus to the complexities of biologics, antibodies, and pharmaceuticals. Dr. Bielsky’s practice covers patent prosecution for emerging companies, national universities, and global biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, from initial drafting through to post-issuance activities. She is also adept at conducting freedom to operate and validity searches, as well as complex patent portfolio management. Dr. Bielsky has significant experience collaborating with a diverse network of foreign associates spanning Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and North America. She frequently serves as a trusted U.S. associate for international firms, particularly those based in Asia and Europe.
Before becoming a patent agent, Dr. Bielsky was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Center for Reproductive Science at Northwestern University. She has received three National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants and published eight primary and review articles in prominent scientific journals, including Neuron, Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, and Neuropsychopharmacology.
In her free time, Dr. Bielsky enjoys snow-shoeing and skiing, as well as gardening.
