Michael Dunbar sees a natural connection between his highly technical degree in neuroscience and the practice of law. The two disciplines require a similar skillset, including high-level analytical and problem-solving abilities and the ability to collaborate in a team setting. At Heim, Payne & Chorush, Michael applies his scientific background in complex patent-related antitrust litigation against pharmaceutical companies that abuse patent laws to maintain an anticompetitive advantage. His practice also includes asserting and defending patents in infringement litigation involving complex technology.

Michael earned his undergraduate degree in Neuroscience from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he graduated with High Distinguished Honors from the university’s Science and Technology Honors College. He gained practical experience working at the Dwivedi Lab performing molecular genetics experiments for multiple projects.

At Vanderbilt Law School, Michael was Articles Editor for the Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment and Technology Law and served as president of the Vanderbilt Intellectual Property Association.
