When it comes to brain health, few people have dedicated more of their career to pushing the field forward than Rafal Kaminski, Chief Scientific Officer at Angelini Pharma.
In this episode of Careers in Discovery, Rafal shares the journey that’s taken him from medical school in Poland to leading R&D efforts across UCB, Roche, and now Angelini. Along the way, we explore his deep commitment to neuroscience, the lessons of building research teams across academia, biotech, and pharma, and the transformation taking place at Angelini - from a 100-year-old company into a focused innovator in brain health.
We dive into why Angelini is investing in both cutting-edge science and public awareness, how Rafal made the leap from academia to industry, and what he looks for in people when building high-performing teams. He also reflects on the value of ambition, cultural perspective, and scientific humility when navigating a career in life sciences.
