Patent Agent
Anna L. Mallam, Ph.D.
Anna's practice focuses on U.S. and foreign biotechnology and pharmaceutical patent matters including patent preparation and prosecution, as well as freedom-to-operate and patentability analyses.
She received a Ph.D. (2007) in Biophysics from the University of Cambridge, UK. Anna also earned an M.S. (2003) in Chemistry (first class) and a B.S. (2002) in Chemistry (first class), both from the University of Cambridge, UK.
Anna’s experience includes preparing, filing, and prosecuting biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device patent applications in technology areas such as biochemistry, immunology, and pharmacology, as well as performing patentability and freedom-to-operate analyses. She is an experienced science researcher in biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, and proteomics.
Before joining Seed IP, Anna served as a patent agent at a large multi-practice law firm in Austin, Texas for three years. Prior to that, she worked as a Research Associate in Systems Biology (5 years) and RNA Biology (2 years), and was an EMBO Research Fellow in Structural Biology (2 years) -- all at The University of Texas, Austin. Anna also previously served as a Research Fellow in Biophysics at St. John’s College, University of Cambridge (UK) for several years.
Anna has authored and co-authored over 20 peer-reviewed journal articles, and has been awarded research grants by the University of Cambridge, UK, and the European Molecular Biology Organization to discover and characterize new molecular machines.

Honors & Awards
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
