Profile of Peter Quinn

I joined the patent team at D Young & Co in 2024 with a technical background in chemistry.

Since joining the firm, I have gained experience in the prosecution of European and foreign patent applications.

Prior to joining D Young & Co, I worked for several years in R&D and production chemistry roles across the flavours and fragrances, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. My expertise includes physical organic chemistry, with a focus on reaction kinetics and mechanisms involving transition metals, organocatalysts and Brønsted acid/base catalysis, as well as synthetic organic chemistry, process chemistry and scale-up, where I have contributed to both new and improved scalable chemical processes.
