Andreas Hänsele
Associate

Andreas is part of the Biotechnology and Bioinformatics teams, where his work focuses on nucleic acid diagnostics, in particular circulating tumor DNA assays and related bioinformatics workflows, as well as gene and antibody therapies. He handles large EPO prosecution portfolios and often works on EPO opposition-appeal proceedings. Andreas has also been involved in contentious proceedings before national courts and the UPC in both English and German.
Before joining Carpmaels & Ransford, Andreas read Biochemistry at the University of Oxford and completed a DPhil at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology as a Clarendon scholar. His doctoral research focused on using in vitro techniques such as X-ray crystallography to determine the 3D atomic structure and function of proteins involved in centrosome formation. During his DPhil, Andreas held various positions on the Clarendon Council, and taught undergraduates in bioenergetics and biophysics.
In his spare time, Andreas enjoys going to the gym and eating good food. He also loves football and closely follows the Bundesliga.
