Dr. Anthony Sabatelli, chair of Dilworth IP’s biotech and pharmaceutical patent practice group, has been appointed by CURE (Connecticut United for Research Excellence) to serve on its newly convened government affairs committee. The committee comprises representatives from CURE’s board of directors, the pharmaceutical and bioscience sectors, and the legal community. In this new role, Dr. Sabatelli will spearhead federal outreach initiatives for CURE and will work closely with the government relations firm Rome, Smith & Lutz to assure synergy of action and alignment of state and federal initiatives. “I look forward to working with this committee on issues of importance to the biotech and pharmaceutical industries and to being a voice for our industry here in Connecticut”, says Dr. Sabatelli.
This is the latest collaboration between Dilworth IP and CURE. Last fall, the Firm joined CURE as a Founding Partner in its launch of the Innovation Commons, a collaborative work environment for entrepreneurs and innovators in the bioscience industry on the Pfizer campus in Groton, CT.
