Hello, I am Ana Andžić Tomlinson and I am an attorney licensed in New Mexico, United States since 2002.

My experience in the research, innovation, and commercialization arena encompasses roles of an attorney in private practice, in-house counsel at an R1 U.S. university, law professor, consultant, executive, and research professor.

As a litigator, I helped secure the largest jury verdict in the United States in 2013, in an antitrust case involving price-fixing.

I am keenly focused on removing obstacles to research, building university-industry partnerships, and creating multidisciplinary inter-institutional research networks and institutions across national boundaries.
