Our second episode features Dr. Šeila Selimović, Program Manager at the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) within the US Department of Health and Human Services. After her PhD training in condensed matter physics at Brandeis University and a postdoctoral fellowship in tissue engineering at Harvard Medical School / Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Dr. Selimović joined the Department of State as a AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow. Our conversation follows Dr. Selimović's career path from graduate school to leading a number of funding agency programs at the National Institutes of Health and now at BARDA, helping bridge the gap between unique federal areas of interest, interdisciplinary research, and supporting future bioengineering endeavors. As the conversation continues, we learn from Dr. Selimović about the importance of branching outside of your intended career trajectory to explore new and exciting opportunities that may come along the way.
