Paths to Excellence – Celebrating Journeys in Life Science
BIOTECH CONNECTION SINGAPORE and Singapore Women in Science | MARCH 8 2018
There are many career paths in life science, each with its own set of challenges and rewards. In conjunction with International Women’s Day, Biotech Connection Singapore (BCS) and Singapore Women in Science (SgWIS) jointly present our next panel discussion event – Paths to Excellence – Celebrating Journeys in Life Science.
Join us as we bring together a diverse panel of female speakers who have succeeded in different ways. From conducting impactful research in academia, or starting a life science company as an entrepreneur, to creating a blockbuster product in industry, the career stories of these women will be showcased in a panel discussion to provide inspiration to the rest of us still seeking our own career paths.
