This week on Careers in Discovery, we’re joined by Sarah Almond, VP of Translational Biology at NRG Therapeutics.
Sarah shares her journey from early lab work to leading translational science on a first in class neurodegeneration programme. We talk about the serendipity that shaped her career, the importance of early hands-on experience, and how redundancies opened unexpected doors.
Sarah reflects on leadership; from learning to give difficult feedback, to the responsibility that comes with shaping people’s day to day wellbeing, to the power of listening when managing teams. She also discusses adapting to biotech’s fast pace, navigating uncertainty, and the mindset needed to thrive in a small, mission driven environment.
