Tell Us More: Advocating for Biotechnology’s Biggest Innovators

Haverford Magazine writes:

“Recently, patent attorney Eldora Ellison got a cameo in journalist Walter Isaacson’s 2021 book The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race. He interviewed Ellison over breakfast about her role in the ongoing legal battles surrounding the patents on Doudna’s Nobel Prize-winning discovery of CRISPR, or gene editing, and concluded that Ellison ‘would be great on the Supreme Court, which nowadays could use at least one justice who understands biology and technology.'”

Director Eldora L. Ellison, Ph.D. is featured on the cover of Haverford Magazine’s Summer 2021 issue and was interviewed for the article “Tell Us More: Advocating for Biotechnology’s Biggest Innovators.” An alumna of Haverford College, Eldora discusses how her undergraduate experience shaped her career path, her interest in intellectual property, the importance of patents in biotechnology, and more.
