“ The relevance of the Biotechnology sector has never been greater than it is now during the pandemic, and as an MBiotech graduate I look forward to contributing to a field that so strongly impacts our society for the better. Over the past two years I’ve learned about the biotechnology realm from industry leaders, gaining invaluable experience that has opened up many professional opportunities. Along the way, I’ve made amazing friendships with some of the most bright-minded individuals, whom I look forward to meeting again down the road in our careers. I truly value the experiences I’ve gained at MBiotech and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a career that involves both Science and Business.”
