Planned Happenstance
Academia or Industry?
Abstract:
I have performed research as a molecular biologist interested in signal cascade. Past works include elucidating molecular mechanisms of LRP6 as a Wnt receptor. After 11-year stay in the US as a postdoc and subsequently PI, I joined Daiichi Sankyo in Japan three years ago. In this seminar, I will discuss the differences and similarities between the academia and industry, challenges in Pharma industry, as well as academia system in USA.
