Dra. Marisol’s Answer

Hi Katia,


For sure you can work in the research Industry with a PhD. However, usually a PhD involves work at University and doing research for University first,. Usually, the research Industry asks for people who have years of experience in the field. However, any experience you can get in the meantime will help you with your CV and the job you want in the future.


Good Luck!

Reshma’s Answer

Of course! But as Dra. Marisol Seguel Roa said, it will be difficult to get your foot in the door. You might have to get an entry level job in industry. You can focus your attention on technician type jobs at biomedical companies. Once you're in industry, I hear its easier to move up or find other industry jobs. Good luck!
