Horror movies, Newcastle United and emulsion science. All in a days work for Scott Kimmins.

“Towards the end of my PhD, I was reviewing my career options and decided that I wanted to pursue a career outside of the laboratory. After attending a lecture given by a recently qualified UK patent attorney I became interested in pursuing this profession. I find IP fascinating especially how the management of a company’s intangible assets is a key part of their business strategy.”

I AM: Fanatical about detail

Title: IP Professional

Qualifications: MChem (Hons) PhD

Since entering the IP profession I’ve found that I am learning every day especially about the intricacies of IP. I enjoy working on patents from a wide range of scientific backgrounds and have undertaken patent prosecution in relation to pharmaceuticals, healthcare products and coatings of substrates.

My areas of specialisation are polymer chemistry, biotechnology, emulsion science and nanotechnology. My interests lie with synthesis of novel polymeric materials for use for a range of applications, from solid phase organic synthesis to cell culture/tissue engineering.
