Thanks to Dr Andrew Foers to showing us what it takes to go from PhD to patent scientist! Andrew shared valuable perspectives on how skills from PhD and post-doc can transfer over to patents but also key differences!
#VIINcareers
Thanks to Dr Rebecca Smith for starting off our Careers Evening! Giving us insight in her journey from research to development. As Rebecca put it "Be brave, take a few risks, be kind to yourself. Things will evolve as they need to."
#VIINcareers
A great talk from Dr Jodie Abramovitch accompanied by excellent art and insights into the role of a principal scientist at a contract research organisation. Thanks for reminding us all of to trust ourselves and our guts!
#VIINcareers
Fantastic insights from Dr Nicholas Liau on challenging yourself, doing things outside of your comfort zone and living beyond the now-- make time to think about your future. Diversifying your experiences can seem intimidating but can lead to great things. #VIINcareers
How can we find out what’s really going on inside cells when we’re generating so much complex data?
CORNETO is an open-source tool that uses machine learning to turn tangled omics datasets into clear maps of how genes, proteins, and signalling pathways interact.
