As I'm nearing the end of my PhD journey, I'm thankful for how IMNIS has been helping me transition back into industry through the mentorship program and the well-thought-out workshops. I'm also very fortunate to be matched with an accomplished mentor. The cross-disciplinary mentorship has been a breath of fresh air and has proven to be very effective in giving me new perspectives on how to address my unique challenges.
My mentor really pushed me to engage with people in the wider medical research field, especially those in industry roles, to learn more about what sort of jobs were on offer. I don’t think I would have had the confidence to reach out without her guidance.
