Before establishing her own firm, Julie Scott was in-house counsel at Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. in St. Joseph, Missouri, and practiced law at Polsinelli PC in Kansas City, as well as, Townsend Townsend and Crew (now Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton) in San Francisco.
Prior to law school, Julie was a research scientist. She directed and supervised a molecular genetics laboratory at the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Services in Kerrville, Texas and was a MacArthur Research Fellow at the University of Arizona, Centers for Insect Sciences in Tucson and a National Research Council Fellow at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.
Her research focused on the biochemistry associated with metabolizing insecticides; the genetics associated with resistance to insecticides; and the development of technologies to detect resistance. At the Centers for Disease Control, she developed simple, cost-effective methods to distinguish African mosquitoes species from each other.
