Life as an industry scientist at a biotech company
By: Sally Wang
One of the most common questions that newly minted PhDs ask when considering non-academic jobs is about the transferability of their skills and knowledge. Given that most PhDs only know one type of research environment, any non-academic venture would appear to be a large departure from the research ecosystem that they are acclimatized to during graduate school. However, those looking to transition into the biotech sector may be pleasantly surprised at how much their skills and knowledge are transferable.
