Discover where Biotechnology can take you
Australia’s biotechnology industry encompasses a broad range of careers and occupations. With a panel of guest speakers from diverse organisations this event will explore where biotechnology can take you, and advise students of pathways to enter the industry. Each panellist will discuss how their organisation fits into the wider Australian biotech industry more generally, as well as delve into specifics about their role. This event is particularly well suited to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, and recent graduates are also welcome. We look forward to seeing you there!
The evening will start with a short panel introduction of each industry representative before moving to breakout rooms, enabling students to continue a Q&A and discuss research developments and trends in industry with their chosen organisation from the panel. This will then be followed by pizza and informal networking.
