As a molecular biologist, I am passionate about helping life science clients protect their intellectual property.

Lillian Schmaltz leverages her previous experience in synthetic chemistry, molecular biology, and biochemistry.

Prior to joining Foley Hoag, Lillian earned her Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin under the supervision of Dr. Seongmin Lee. Her dissertation investigated the genotoxic effects of DNA alkylation and interstrand crosslinking.
