Academia → Biotech/CGT Career Transition

This session focuses on realistic transition strategies from academic research into biotech or translational roles.

We discuss:

• What industry actually looks for (beyond publications)

• Assay development, process thinking, and quality culture

• Germany vs India biotech ecosystems

• How to reposition your CV

• Whether postdoc, direct industry, or hybrid paths make sense

This is ideal for:

– PhD candidates considering industry

– Early-career scientists in immunology

– Researchers curious about CGT and translational science

We will focus on structural clarity, not shortcuts.
