Jenny Liu is a patent agent in the Boston office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, where she is a member of the patents and innovations practice. She has technical knowledge across a variety of fields, including organic, polymer, bioconjugate, and peptide chemistry. Her practice focuses on patent prosecution and intellectual property matters for life sciences clients.

Prior to joining the firm, Jenny held positions as a medicinal, synthetic, and process chemist at several biotech start-ups and a specialty CRO and worked primarily in the small molecule and bioconjugates space.

Jenny earned her Ph.D. in chemistry from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the lab of Professor Jeremiah Johnson. Her research focused on the design and synthesis of polymer-drug conjugates using ring opening metathesis polymerization. Jenny has co-authored several scientific publications and a book chapter. Additionally, she has presented at American Chemical Society national meetings and is a co-inventor on five patent applications.
