Michael Dunbar

Michael Dunbar is an Associate at Houston's Heim, Payne & Chorush. He sees a natural connection between his highly technical degree in neuroscience and the practice of law. The two disciplines require high-level analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to collaborate in a team setting.

Mr. Dunbar 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.

He 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. Mr. Dunbar gained practical experience working at the Dwivedi Lab performing molecular genetics experiments for multiple projects.

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