Nina Srejovic is a Visiting Professor and Acting Director of the Intellectual Property and Information Policy (iPIP) Clinic. Before coming to Georgetown Law, she litigated landmark intellectual property cases for bioscience and technology clients, including successfully representing biotech pioneer Cetus Corporation in the trial upholding the validity of Cetus’ patents for Kari Mullis’ Nobel Prize-winning polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology. She also served on the Attorney Advisory Committee for the District Court for the Northern District of California and managed the court’s Case Management Pilot Program to reduce cost and delay in civil litigation. Professor Srejovic’s research tackles the intersection of new technologies and intellectual property and examines root causes for the underrepresentation of women in the innovation narrative.

She holds a J.D., cum laude, from the University of Michigan Law School and a B.A., with distinction, in economics from Stanford University.
