The Biocom Institute’s Life Science Young Leaders Fellowship gave me the courage to move into a fast-growing industry in San Diego. I have always felt discouraged moving out of the marketing agency industry, but thanks to the fellowship, I received the encouragement to apply and seek opportunities in the biotech industry. I am looking forward to this next chapter in my career.
The Biocom Institute’s Life Science Young Leaders Fellowship gave me the confidence to seek a career in the biotech industry by providing insight & knowledge about the industry and preparing me for job interviews. Thank you to my mentor, Desiree Van Haute (Scientist, Terray Therapeutics), for inspiring, motivating, and introducing me to recruiting companies. I hope to continue growing in this industry.
I am grateful for the work my mentor, Orlando Perrera (Research Associate III, ChromaCode), has put in after hours to try and get me a job. He has connected me to his network and taught me all about different work environments, teamwork, benefits, and drawbacks.
I am grateful to Biocom for introducing the fellows to understanding the Life sciences industry and also guiding us through the whole process of finding a job, making connections in life science, through their well-structured program and excellent staff who were very helpful, knowledgeable, encouraging and supportive throughout this fellowship program.
This program has been a transformative opportunity, offering valuable insights and connections that have significantly advanced my understanding and career prospects in the life sciences field.
All the training and guidance provided by this fellowship have been crucial for navigating the biotech industry and advancing my professional journey. They have offered valuable insights, support, and the inspiration to strive for excellence. I am deeply grateful for the knowledge and mentorship I have received.
The Life Science Career Fellowship and the things it provided me quite literally changed my life. From feedback on my resume to building my network to educating me on the different career paths in the life sciences, this program provided me with invaluable knowledge and opportunities. And if that wasn’t enough, they paired me with a truly incredible mentor who was my biggest cheerleader from day 1.
I went from 100s applications with 0 interviews/screens to the final rounds of interviews with the tools and connections I’ve learned and fostered in this fellowship!
As a recent graduate, taking part of this program was a perfect way to learn and apply professional development skills and network with biotech professionals.
The Fellowship program was amazing; it offered me many opportunities to network and explore different fields in the biotech industry, and my mentor, Anna, was always supportive.
