CSS - "From Science to Business: A Journey of (Unexpected) Fancies and Opportunities”

When contemplating a move from academia to industry, many scientists struggle to identify matching job opportunities based on their scientific skill-set.

About the speaker: Erik did his PhD within the IMPRS "From Molecules to Organisms" in the lab of Prof. Thilo Stehle at the University of Tübingen. In 2020 he started at Leukocare AG as a Scientist and after two years he continued as Business Development Manager."
