Everyone is warmly invited to seminar this Friday, September 11, from noon to 12:50 in room 103 Henson. The seminar is titled, “You don’t have to take the obvious next step: Making your own career path in biotech.” Refreshments will be served!
The speaker, Mike Italia, has built a successful career in Biotechnology, with focus on using bioinformatics for personalized medicine. He has spent decades in healthcare and life sciences — from discovery research at GSK to biomedical informatics at CHOP to product and engineering leadership at Syapse and AWS. He is now the Founder of Vettaris, LLC, which helps healthcare companies build AI that makes their business run better.
This talk will be both about the career path he took and the science done along the way. It should be of special interest to students curious about a career in industry/biotech but wondering how to do it, whether they need to go to graduate school, and what their career could be.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
