Oklahoma Bioscience Leaders Point the Way for the Next Generation

Dunlap Codding Patent Agent Dr. Kathryn Hester was quoted in April Wilkerson’s article in The Journal Record on March 31.  According to the article,” the beauty of the bioscience industry is that a person can move from pipettes to patents if stagnation sets in.”

Dr. Hester is quoted on the path she took to protect innovations.  ”My path has been pretty straightforward with a crook in it.  I went straight from the Ph.D. to work for the law firm.  I knew when I was doing my graduate work that I didn’t want to stay in a lab for the rest of my life,  but I wasn’t sure exactly where I wanted to go.  Patent law is an interesting area of the law in that it does not require a law degree to practice it.  It actually requires a technical degree because you need to be able to understand what the inventions are and to be able to critically analyze them and to write patents correctly.”
The article continues, profiling other University of Oklahoma graduates and scientists.

Dunlap Codding Sponsors Graduate Student at BIO—
Oriana Hawkins Receives Oklahoma BioScience Travel Award

Dunlap Codding is a pleased to be once again a contributor to the Oklahoma BioScience Travel Award presented at the Graduate Research Education and Technology Symposium.  The 2010 award has been given to Ph.D. candidate Oriana Hawkins.  She is a student in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Oklahoma, mentored by Dr. William Hildebrand.

Dr. Hildebrand’s lab works to understand how the body’s alarm system, HLA, alerts the immune system to diseases such as cancer, HIV, and West Nile Virus.   Hawkins has focused her energies on identifying new targets for breast cancer. The long term goal of her project is to develop T cell eliciting vaccines and antibody therapeutics to treat breast cancer. She is co-inventor on three patent applications related to her research; the applications were prepared and filed by Dunlap Codding.

Ms. Hawkins was selected to receive the Oklahoma Bioscience Travel Award for her presentation, “Targeting of Breast Tumors by an HLA A*0201/MIF Specific Antibody.”  The award is part of the Graduate Research Education and Technology Symposium held annually at OUHSC. The award provided funds for travel expenses and registration fees to attend the BIO International Conference held in Chicago in 2010. BIO is the world’s largest annual event for the biotechnology industry.

While at BIO, Ms. Hawkins learned the business of bringing new therapeutic agents from discovery, to clinical trials, through FDA approval and, finally, to market. She made contacts within three large pharmaceutical companies which could significantly propel the development of her discoveries toward new cancer therapies.

“The opportunity for Oriana to network with scientists and business investors as a graduate student was a unique and eye-opening experience,” according to Douglas Sorocco, Dunlap Codding shareholder and adjunct faculty member in the Department of Physiology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.  “While many students see the academic importance of their work, few have the resources necessary to network with business leaders and investors at a conference like BIO so early in their careers.  We are delighted to have made that opportunity available to Oriana and to other young scientists.”
Dunlap Codding was also a contributing sponsor of the Oklahoma booth at BIO, and a delegation from the firm, led by Dr. Kathryn Hester, helped to staff the booth in Chicago.  The firm is a charter member of the Oklahoma Bioscience Association and supports the efforts of private and public sectors to grow the bioscience industry in Oklahoma.

Instructions

Thank you for your interest in using our facilities at DC on Film Row. Please fill out the following form with as much information as possible. We will review all submissions and let you know if we need any additional information. We reserve the sole right to determine who may be a guest in our facilities and the conditions/circumstances under which the space may be used. We are an all volunteer effort and it may take 1-2 days in which to respond. We take all requests in the order in which we receive them. So, although the calendar may indicate that a particular day/time is currently available there may be circumstances where we simply haven’t yet gotten to an earlier email requesting the use of the space. Please note that while the space and facilities are free to use, there is a $20/hr nonrefundable payment required to the person who hosts the space while it is in use. While we allow private parties when the space is available, our mission is to provide a space for community and nonprofit events first whenever possible. As such, beginning April 1st, we have instituted a couple of new procedures for private events such as baby showers, weddings, graduation ceremonies and the like:

  1. We will only book private events beginning in the month prior to the event. For example, if you wish to hold a baby shower on June 15th we would allow you to book the space no earlier than May 1st.
  2. The nonrefundable payment for your host must be made before the space will be “reserved” for your use. For example, if you wish to hold a baby shower on June 1st from 6pm to 11pm we would require the $100 payment ($20/hr for 5 hours) to be made at the time of booking or shortly thereafter in order to reserve the space. We will not hold or reserve the space for a private event until the host payment is complete. Please note that this is a nonrefundable payment–i.e., if the event is canceled the payment will not be refunded.
    • If the date for your event is available, we will contact you to obtain this nonrefundable payment. Please make certain that your contact information submitted is accurate and indicates the best email/number to reach you.
  3. The number of times any individual can reserve the space will be limited to once every six months.

While we do not wish to be overly formal with the requirements to use our facilities, our experience over the past 3 years has made it necessary to implement a few policies to better manage the space so everyone in our community has an opportunity to come together. Thanks!
