Education
Postdoctoral studies, the Weizmann Institute of Science. Investigating three-dimensional structure of proteins using cryo-Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
Ph.D Chemistry, 2002, the Weizmann Institute of Science. Focusing on analysis of tumors’ physiology and metabolism using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and cell biology techniques.
Experience
Dr. Dalia Rivenzon-Segal is a partner and a patent attorney at the Reinhold Cohn Group’s Life Science and Chemistry practice.
Dalia is involved in drafting patent applications, prosecution, Freedom to Operate (FTO), and IP due diligence in medicinal chemistry, drug discovery and optimization, protein structure analysis, microscopy, molecular and cell biology.
Before joining the Reinhold Cohn Group, Dalia served as a senior scientist in the computational chemistry department of EPIX Pharmaceuticals, a drug discovery company, where she was involved in drug optimization projects and in-silico screening programs (ligand-based and structure-based).
