Jennifer Jeanne Embry Flory focuses her practice on patent litigation, with particular emphasis in the fields of biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Flory received her B.S. in Chemistry with a minor in Mathematics from Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame in 1996. While at Saint Mary's, she focused on inorganic chemistry and co-authored a publication based on her research with metalloborane carbonyl clusters in the Journal of Inorganic Chemistry. During this time, she was also an intern in the metallurgical laboratory at I/ N Kote, a sheet steel processing mill.

Prior to law school, Dr. Flory received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Rush Medical College in 2003. Her graduate research in the field of osteoarthritis and articular cartilage focused on the degradation of hyaluronan and the hyaluronan-binding region of aggrecan, an articular cartilage extracellular matrix proteoglycan. Dr. Flory's co-internalization studies involved transfecting bovine articular chondrocytes and COS-7 cells with various isoforms of the CD44 aggrecan receptor gene and characterizing hyaluronan and aggrecan (ITEGE epitope) internalization. For her work, she received the Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society Award for Outstanding Student Research in 2002.

Dr. Flory received her J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2005, where she was on the Dean's list. While attending law school, she authored two publications in the Journal of Arthritis & Rheumatism based on her graduate work and was the recipient of the Barbara P. & Edward M. O'Toole scholarship.
