Attorney
Dr. Tara Tabatabaie, an attorney and a scientist, brings an extremely unique combination of legal
and scientific expertise to cases where science and scientific evidence are at the heart of the
issues in question. Dr. Tabatabaie has served as a member of the Plaintiffs Steering Committees
and Science Committees of a number of national, multi-district litigations against large
pharmaceutical and chemical companies, including, In Re: Abbott Laboratories, et al., Preterm
Infant Nutrition Products Liability Litigation, MDL 3026, against Abbott and Reckitt; In re
Roundup Products Liability Litigation, MDL 2741,against Monsanto and Bayer; In Re: Actos
(Pioglitazone) Products Liability Litigation, MDL 2299, ; against Takeda and Eli Lilly, In Re:
Fluoroquinolone Products Liability Litigation, MDL 2642, against Johnson & Johnson and Bayer,;
and In Re: Avandia Marketing, Sales Practices, and Products Liability Litigation, MDL 1871,
against GlaxoSmithKline.
Dr. Tabatabaie’s scientific expertise and unique skill set have made significant contributions
to the successful resolution of these cases, many of which resulted in multi-billion-dollar
settlements for the plaintiffs. Her ability to pinpoint critical scientific evidence, and her work
regarding scientific experts in the cases she has been involved in have enabled plaintiffs to
successfully develop and advance scientific theories that withstand attacks by experts retained
by defendants, and defendants’ Daubert challenges.
Dr. Tabatabaie earned her PhD in Chemistry from University of Oklahoma in 1992, and her Juris
Doctor degree, Magna Cum Laude, from Oklahoma City University in 2007. She was the
recipient of multiple awards and honors during her studies at both institutions.
Prior to starting her legal career, Dr. Tabatabaie was a senior research scientist at the Oklahoma
Medical Research Foundation in Oklahoma City. In that position, she studied the biomedical
processes involved in a variety of diseases, including cancer, diabetes, stroke, heart disease,
Alzheimer’s disease, and various environmental toxins. Dr. Tabatabaie is the author of numerous
scientific articles and book chapters and has served as the peer reviewer for several prestigious
scientific journals.
