Thank you
Eleanor graduated from the University of Dundee in 2018 with a first-class honours degree in Biological Chemistry and Drug Discovery. During this time, she developed a keen interest in medicinal chemistry and early-phase drug development. In 2016, she won the University’s Carnelly Prize for a proficiency in chemistry, along with the Graham Smith Prize for achieving the highest grades in her degree stream. Her dissertation was focused on synthesising covalent fragments for use in fragment-based drug discovery.
Eleanor then completed an interdisciplinary PhD in Antibacterial Drug Discovery. Her research was focused on the development of chemical probes for use in mode of action studies in Gram-negative bacteria. During her PhD, she gained experience in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, drug discovery and bacterial molecular biology.
Eleanor joined Keltie in July 2023 and is training to become a qualified UK and European Patent Attorney.

G 1/24 EPO: Setting the Stage for a Landmark DecisionOral proceedings before the Enlarged Board of Appeal (EBoA) of the European Patent Office (EPO) in the case G 1/24, have now been scheduled for 28 March 2025. G 1/24 is poised to potentially become a landmark case in European patent law, with the EBoA due to make a decision as to the extent to which the description and figures may be used for claim interpretation when assessing patentability.

Patenting MetamaterialsMetamaterials - materials whose functionality and properties arise not as inherent features of their constituent materials, but due to an artificially-engineered structure - are particularly apt for patent protection. Keltie patent attorney Emily Weal explores this exciting area of materials science and the growing body of patents protecting it.
