Charles D. Reed is Partner at Kile, Goekjian, Reed & McManus, PLLC, where he practices corporate, international, and patent law. As a young attorney, Reed served as a law clerk to Justice Tom Clerk at the United States Supreme Court, during the 1965 term when arguably the most significant opinion in patent law was decided, Graham v. John Deere Co. Justice Clark, who delivered the opinion for Court, subsequently took the unusual step of revealing that Reed actually drafted the opinion. Reed holds a bachelor’s degree from Rice University, an MS degree in chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, a Certificat in fluid dynamics from the Institut Français du Pétrole (Paris), and a JD degree in law from South Texas College of Law.


Richard R. Behringer, Ph.D., is the Deputy Chair of the Department of Molecular Genetics and the holder of the Ben F. Love Chair in Cancer Research at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. He is an internationally recognized developmental biologist who has made crucial contributions to our understating of early embryonic decisions about the vertebrates body plans. He is the editor-in-chief of Genesis, a journal devoted to genetics and development and the author of two major textbooks about mouse embryonic developments. Behringer received his undergraduate degree from California State University and his Ph.D. degree from the University of South Carolina.
