In this episode, Emma tells us about her journey from a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at EPFL to working in women’s health. She is now a Research & Development Engineer at Rea Diagnostics SA, a startup developing a non-invasive test to identify biomarkers of preterm birth.

We talk about the decision she made not to pursue a PhD after her Master’s degree, and the bold move that led her to her first experience in a startup.

Whether you are a Master’s student or a PhD student, this episode is here to show you that there is no single path to finding your next career opportunity after a degree.

Tune in to hear Emma’s story !

Having options is one thing, but being aware of the full range of possibilities is even better. Through the Loritasium podcast, I hope listeners will gain a better understanding of the professional opportunities that their degree and work experience can open up to them as life sciences students and researchers.
