Liaoteng Wang

Associate

Dr. Wang is an associate in the Silicon Valley office of Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, where he practices intellectual property litigation, with an emphasis on life sciences and biotechnology.

Prior to joining the firm, Dr. Wang gained litigation experience at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, patent appeals and general appellate experience at the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and Wisconsin Supreme Court, serving as a judicial intern for Judge Randall R. Rader and Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, respectively, and patent prosecution and counseling experience at Fish & Richardson.

Before embarking on a career in law, Dr. Wang was an avid scientist conducting graduate and postdoctoral research on molecular mechanisms of germline stem cell development under the supervision of Dr. Judith Kimble and Dr. Marvin Wickens at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and identified a novel class of poly(A) polymerases that play important roles on the translational control of gene expression.

In addition to English, Dr. Wang is fluent in Mandarin and Taiwanese.
