Career Talks

Navigating an Early Career in Industry

Horizons in Molecular Biology Symposium 2025

MPI-NAT, Faßberg Campus in Göttingen, Germany · 8 September 2025

I talked about my personal journey from academic RNA biology to working in early drug discovery at Roche, sharing what I wish I had known before making the leap and what the transition really feels like from the inside.

From RNA Biology to Drug Discovery: Navigating an Early Career in Industry

3rd Swiss RNA Therapeutics Summit

University of Bern, Switzerland · 23 January 2025

I shared how my PhD work on small RNA regulation and RNA modifications shaped the way I think about drug discovery today, and what I learned about building a career at the intersection of academic expertise and industry needs.

How to land your first industry position?

3rd Joint PhD Conference Between Faculties of Medicine and Science

Eurotel Victoria, Les Diablerets, Switzerland · 13 March 2023

I spoke to PhD students who were just starting to think about life after academia, sharing honest advice on how to present your research experience, what biotech companies are really looking for, and how I navigated my own first steps into industry.
