Bioengineering Pathways: Academia and Entrepreneurship
Join Nucleate UK as we explore career pathways in bioengineering, with a particular focus on translating research into startups and real-world impact. Aimed at PhD students and Early Career Researchers (ECRs).
The session will highlight how scientists can navigate trajectories that span academia, industry, and entrepreneurship.
Using the experiences of our speakers, we will showcase complementary career paths:
Transitioning across international biotech ecosystems and startup environments
Combining academic leadership with company co-founding
Bridging fundamental research with commercial application, particularly in sustainability and climate biotech
Whether you’re exploring commercialisation or developing new technologies, join us to see how Nucleate UK partners with ARIA to accelerate ambitious ideas and ventures!
