Jeremy Burdon joined AzTE from Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, where he was responsible for IP portfolio management, patent landscaping, disclosure due-diligence and liaison activities for implantable medical device technologies. Prior to taking a position in IP portfolio management, Jeremy was a Principal Scientist, focusing on the development of new technologies for implantable medical devices.
Jeremy was a distinguished member of the technical staff at Motorola, Inc., where he worked for almost 10 years. While at Motorola’s Component Products Division in Albuquerque, he developed polymer thin-film technologies, and oxide thin-films, and transitioned several technologies into the pre-production stage. Within Motorola’s Corporate Research Labs in Tempe, AZ, his work focused on micro-fluidic devices for biochemical analysis. Jeremy developed piezo-jetting technology for oligonucleotide and SNP microarrays, and later worked on micro-scale PCR biochemistry, co-developing the world’s first continuous-flow PCR microscale chip.
Jeremy holds a BSc in Chemistry and a PhD in Polymer Science from the University Of Sussex, UK. His research focused on oxidative degradation of polymer materials and the polymerization behavior of polymers using chemiluminescence. Prior to his industrial R&D career, Jeremy completed postdoctoral research and an industrially funded research professorship at the University of Arizona focusing on biomimetic materials.
Jeremy holds 14 issued patents in the areas of materials, microsystems and implantable medical devices.
Jeremy is a Patent Agent, and is admitted to practice before the US Patent and Trademark Office.
