Dr. Rogers assists with prior art research, patent application drafting and patent prosecution before the USPTO, and corresponds with foreign associates to guide the prosecution of foreign applications.
 
Dr. Rogers has a total of 10 years of research experience in bioanalytical chemistry across both industrial and academic settings. His technical expertise spans numerous topics within the biological and chemical fields, such as immunology, nanotechnology, analytical chemistry, biophysics, bioconjugation chemistry, cell-based therapeutics, and microscopy.
 
Dr. Rogers graduated with a B.S. degree in Chemistry from East Tennessee State University, a M.A. degree in Chemistry from the University of Virginia, and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Emory University. His doctoral research focused on developing tools to measure intercellular molecular forces using DNA nanotechnology. These tools were primarily used to investigate T cell interactions, which are responsible for identifying and eradicating virally infected or cancer cells.
 
Dr. Rogers has delivered scientific presentations at national and international conferences including the American Society of Cell Biology and the European Molecular Biology Organization’s Immunobiophysics Workshop. He has co-authored 4 peer-reviewed journal articles in high-impact journals, such as the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Nature Nanotechnology, and the Biophysical Journal. Dr. Rogers has been recognized for his outstanding contributions toward his doctoral research through multiple awards and fellowships including Emory’s Quayle Excellence in Research Award.
 
Towards the end of his Ph.D. program, Dr. Rogers’ became interested in working on commercializing discoveries from the lab setting.  This led him to join Emory’s Office of Technology Transfer. After this internship, he was accepted into a program that provides initial training and support to students and early professionals as they begin a career in patent law.
