Drug discovery and life science research relies on innovation to push scientific boundaries and develop new medicines. Academia provides the foundation of this groundbreaking scientific research, and it is in the translation and application of these discoveries which result in advances in the medical field. In the private sector and in academia, newly established companies or research groups offer exciting opportunities for a new joiner to develop their skillset through learning and adapting to new challenges.

In this free event, you will hear from a panel of experts as they share their personal experience of moving into start-up companies, forging their career in the rapidly moving world of biotech and academia, and what resources are available for you to do the same.

• Empower your career with new ways of thinking about your skillset.
• What to look for when applying for roles in new companies and research groups.
• A networking session will follow the talks where you can meet and talk with the experts, as well as forging new contacts with your fellow delegates.

Who should attend?

Undergraduate, postgraduate, post-doctoral and other early career professionals in life sciences looking to learn more about innovative skills which can enhance their careers. Anyone who is interested in joining a recently established research group or company.
