| EXPERIENCE: Craig Kenesky is a patent agent in the New York office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. Craig applies his background in synthetic organic and bioorganic chemistry to the prosecution of domestic and foreign patents, due diligence, freedom to operate, and IP counseling for clients in the chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device sectors. Prior to joining the firm, Craig held a postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University, where he developed novel enzymemimetics and synthetic organic nanowires. Craig's doctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania focused on the total synthesis of architecturally complex anti-cancer natural products; the computational design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of non-peptidal peptidomimetics and inhibitors of HIV-1 protease; and the computational and biochemical investigation of tubulin-drug interactions leading to cancer cell death. Craig is an author of 10 scientific publications and has delivered multiple research seminars to academic and corporate audiences.
