Dr. Tova Werblowsky focuses on prosecuting patent applications and representing clients in Patent Office proceedings such as inter partes review (IPR) proceedings. She also has experience providing intellectual property due diligence services such as landscape and freedom to operate analyses in the pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical, and materials industries to clients such as POSCO-Future M, Merck, BioMarin Pharmaceuticals, and British American Tobacco.
Prior to joining Jones Day, Tova was a professor of chemistry and physics at Touro University in New York City. She taught advanced seminars in nanoscience, computational chemistry, materials, and biomedical topics in addition to general chemistry and physics courses.
Her graduate and postdoctoral research was in the application of computational methods to determine and predict the energies and structures of monolayer adsorption of organic materials on semi-metallic surfaces. She worked in collaboration with an experimental group in the area of surface microscopy to understand the unique images produced in these techniques and adapted computational techniques to the study of the interface of the 3D solid and the single-layer adsorbed molecules.
Tova has coauthored several peer-reviewed scientific publications, including publications in The Journal of Physical Chemistry and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
