Dr. Cheuk Hei Ho is a patent agent in the Boulder office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, where he is a member of the patents and innovations practice. Cheuk Hei has over ten years of experience in life science research. His diverse scientific expertise includes biotechnology, chemical genetics, functional genomics, gene editing, microbiology, molecular and cell biology, neurobiology, and RNA biology.
Cheuk Hei conducted his postdoctoral research in the Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine at New York University Langone Medical Center, focusing on the development of the nervous system. He studied how the proper scale of a neuron and its target tissue is regulated during development in the fruit fly.
Cheuk Hei earned his Ph.D. degree in Molecular Genetics from the University of Toronto. His research focused on developing functional genomics tools to study the mechanism-of-action of bioactive chemical compounds in the budding yeast. He also constructed the first genome-wide dosage-suppression genetic-interaction network.
Before joining the firm, Cheuk Hei interned in the New York University Office of Industrial Liaison/Technology Transfer. He conducted patentability assessments and strategized responses to Office actions for inventions that originated in New York University.
