Since I have not had any exposure to industry, this opportunity will help me understand biotechnology companies and types of roles available for PhD graduates. I will be graduating in a few months and this will help me decide my next career move. My research is focused on the development of biosensors to study the electrical properties of cells and their responses to pharmaceutical agents. This trip will connect me with companies and people who can give me feedback on whether our technology would have a market in the pharmaceutical industry.
