Join us in subsequent episodes for interviews with guests from a diverse array of private sector life science industries (pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, consulting, venture capital, science policy, etc.) that model viable career paths for students.For updates about upcoming guests, follow us on social media at Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn and visit us at hopkinsbiotechpodcast.com to check out our mission and full catalogue of episodes.Hosted by Roshan Chikarmane and Jenna Glatzer.
