Dr. Murphy is an associate with Caesar Rivise. Prior to joining the firm, Dr. Murphy worked for 6 years in the United States Patent and Trademark Office as a Biotechnology Patent Examiner. He had Full Signatory Authority and was a Master's Level Examiner. He was responsible for examining patents involving cytokines, chemokines, G protein-coupled receptors, Ion channels and other polypeptides. Dr. Murphy received his Ph.D. in Physiology from the University of Virginia in 1997. He did his post-doctoral fellowship at the A.I. DuPont Institute in the Epithelial Cell Biology Laboratory. From 1997 to 1999, he served as a Post Doctoral Scientist for Message Pharmaceuticals, Inc. developing assays for secondary screening of compounds that target RNA. A graduate of George Washington University School of Law in 2006, Dr. Murphy received his undergraduate degree in Biology from St. Joseph's University in 1989.
