Career Prospects

The BioBusiness Winter School helps participants obtain a broader overview of career options in BioBusiness, and possibly identify an interest in a specific field that is previously unknown. Alumni of the BioBusiness Summer School pursue a wide range of career paths. Many of them currently work as scientists in the life sciences industry. A part of them took on commercial roles in pharma or biotech companies or entered the consulting industry. A small but noticeable portion founded their own companies and became the CEO’s. There are also those who stay the academia.

To give you an idea, below are some examples of the roles currently held by the summer school alumni* outside of academia:

• Senior Scientist at Janssen Prevention Center
• Senior Scientist at Ncardia
• Scientist at Merus
• Scientist at Genmab
• Clinical Trial Manager at Hal Allergy Group
• Scientific Project Manager at Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG)
• Medical Manager Rheumatology at AbbVie
