"With the right attitude, there's no reason you can't adapt and become an expert in anything."
Dave Leese, VP of Chemistry at Concept Life Sciences joined us on the latest episode of Careers in Discovery, in which we discuss:
🔬 how an early interest in the books of PD James sparked a life-long interest in science, and ultimately a career at the cutting edge of drug discovery chemistry
🔬 the relationship between skills learned as a scientist and broader business skills
🔬 the importance of continuous personal and professional development
🔬 being proactive about the direction your career takes
Along with his work at Concept Life Sciences, Dave is heavily involved with SCI, an organisation which promotes links between science and industry for the benefit of society, giving him a unique view on the transition between academia and the commercial world.
