BIOGRAPHY

After obtaining his doctoral degree in Organic Chemistry, Rohit joined the Center for Drug Design at the University of Minnesota, where he worked on projects on anti-HIV therapeutics, anticancer drugs, and non-addictive analgesic painkillers. Obtaining a patent for his research piqued his interest in IP law. In his free time, he likes to ride his motorcycle, solve crosswords, and spend time with his middle schooler because she is hilarious!
