ANDERSON, Carolyn

ANDERSON, Carolyn Photograph Ms. Anderson was a member of the founding management team of Diversa Corp. where she served as Vice President of Intellectual Property and Licensing. Ms. Anderson led the company’s IP group from inception in 1994 to her departure in 2005. In 2000, the Diversa management team achieved the most successful biotechnology IPO at that time, raising over $200 million in gross proceeds. In addition, during her tenure as the head of intellectual property, Ms. Anderson was the IP lead in business negotiations that raised $300 million in committed funding from corporate partners. Diversa’s patents were cited by MIT Magazine as being in the top 10 in the world both in 2003 and 2004 across all industries based on citation frequency. Before joining Diversa Corp., Ms. Anderson served in multiple roles at Stratagene Cloning Systems, a molecular biology company based in La Jolla, California, including in sales, marketing, product management, and business development.

Ms. Anderson earned her undergraduate degree at the University of California, San Diego, in Biochemistry and Cell Biology, is a registered patent agent with the U.S. Patent Office, and has published in the area of intellectual property concerning biodiversity access. In 2003, she was a nominee in the T Sector Magazine and BIOCOM BioFUSION award for the “Life Sciences In-House Legal Counsel of the Year.” Currently she is the President of Capia IP, which provides business-based IP advice and services to the life-sciences industry, and co-owner of BioAtla, a U.S.-based biotechnology company with operations in China, which offers protein engineering and evolution services.
