Dr. Susanna Gobbi did her PhD in Neuroscience at the Zurich Center for Neuroeconomics in Switzerland where she developed a clinical research project focused on obesity in women. During her PhD, Susanna joined Roche as a RiSE PhD intern for one year and then kept working as an Imaging Biomarker Data Analyst while finishing her PhD. She is now a first year PostDoc at Roche, working on Alzheimer’s disease and brain functional connectivity. In this episode of Dr. What Now? she talks to Ines about her passion for neuroscience, doing research in industry and her advice for PhD students to explore outside their bubble.

“Don’t be static, explore, don’t be afraid to learn about new fields!” “Take as many opportunities as you can during your PhD to understand what you like”!
