Dr. Marcos Gonzalez Lopez is a patent agent in the San Diego office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, where he assists with the preparation and prosecution of patent applications in the fields of chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology.
Prior to joining the firm, Marcos spent 12 years as a medicinal chemist at Ignyta Inc, Ideaya Biosciences, and ERASCA Inc. He joined those three companies at their early-stage start-up phase, and he helped advance programs from hit identification to candidate selection. In his most recent role, Marcos was a senior director of chemistry at ERASCA Inc.
Marcos received his Ph.D. in synthetic organic chemistry from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid in Spain. After completing his graduate studies, Marcos carried out postdoctoral research work in natural product total synthesis at Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and U.C. Davis, nanotechnology at The Scripps Research Institute, and medicinal chemistry at Sanford Burnham Prebys. He is the co-author of 14 publications and is listed as a co-inventor on numerous issued and pending U.S. and international patents.
