Dr Sara Holland supports a number of early stage scientist-founded synthetic biology/industrial biotech companies both in the UK, Europe and elsewhere. These companies operate across all sectors – food, therapeutics, agritech, new materials, chemicals and oil manufacture.
Sara works closely with these companies to identify their IP, come up with a solid IP strategy and get them ready for fundraising.
Sara has found a passion in recent years for educating academics about the importance of, and basics of, IP. Having been in academia herself until she was 33, she knows that IP is not something given the consideration it deserves by academics.
