Women @ RopesTalk: Conversation with Christina Carlson, HI-Bio

In this episode of Women @ RopesTalk, hosted by IP transactions partner Megan Baca, IP transactions attorney Georgina Suzuki interviews Christina Carlson, general counsel of HI-Bio, a biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing precision medicines for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Christina talks about her move from Gilead Sciences, where she oversaw corporate legal, to HI-Bio, where she has a more legal generalist role. In thinking about her 15-plus-year career, which includes roles at a law firm and in-house, she dispels misconceptions she once had about networking and gives advice for those who wish to follow in her footsteps. For lawyers or others considering careers in biotech, Christina reflects on the exciting and inspiring work she’s contributed to in the areas of HIV and COVID.
