THE PERSON BEHIND THE PORTRAIT

In her own words

I’m a stemcellbiologist. However,recently I’ve transitioned from academia to the biotechbusiness. And yes–I’ve decided to run a biotech startup in a country where I can’t even properly read a label on a pestocan. Although(definitely!)challenging, it was worth it. It gave me a new perspective not only on my research field but also made me more aware of my skills and what I’m capable of achieving. Therefore ,if you are in doubt whether you can do something, just try it. You might be surprised how much you can do. If it doesn’t work, there’s no failure, only another life experience.
