Anne Barker
Anne N. Barker is an information specialist in the legal department at Genentech. After spending 10 years learning the language of patents at a law firm, she made the move "in-house" in 2015, which allowed her to capitalise on her patent knowledge while learning yet another new language in biotech. She is an active member of SLA, a budding glass blower, a raccoon rehabilitator (physically and reputationally speaking), and a cider enthusiast. Find Anne on LinkedIn and, at conference time, on Twitter.
