Dr. Qianyi Yang, who finished her postdoctoral fellowship in November 2022, returned to campus to talk about her experiences as an industry scientist as part of the professional development series of the Cardiovascular Training Grant. She is now a senior scientist at Vertex Pharmaceuticals and shared her journey from academia to industry. She also managed to help to troubleshoot some Western blot problems during the brief time in the lab!
