Dr. Luis G. Perla is an associate in the Palo Alto office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, where he is a member of the firm's patents and innovations practice. Lu focuses on patent prosecution, freedom-to-operate, and due diligence in the fields of organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology.
Lu conducted his doctoral research at the University of Notre Dame on main group element nanoparticles, specifically organically functionalized Zintl Ions. He focused on the synthetic development of nanoparticle aggregation techniques with an expertise in various physical and computational characterization techniques. Furthermore, he completed a post-doctoral appointment at the University of California, Davis, studying the applications of main-group metal mediated catalysis, i.e., hydrogenation, carbon-carbon cross coupling, via the use of sterically encumbering ligands.
