IST Austria Twist Talks – Michael Lukesch

24.04.2018

VALANX Biotech – The life of a biotech startup at IST campus

The entrepreneurial route as a career choice is still daunting for many scientists. It was and still is for the speaker as well. Doing your own thing has its risks, sure – and tremendous perks. The talk will cover a little bit of a prelude story and technology background and will
mainly focus on how to make the transition from scientist to entrepreneur – pitfall anecdotes included.
