Miriam and Harsha both graduated with their PhD in Pharmacology and have since transitioned into having positions in Industry. As a dating pair, they navigated the struggles of defending at different times and ultimately trying to find jobs in the same city.

Miriam explored alternative career paths, such as Scientific Communications and Medical Director roles, through a fellowship at Biogen. She then landed a job at a startup company, Myeloid Therapeutics, as a Clinical Scientist, in Boston. Harsha is a Research Scientist at Vertex Pharmaceuticals. Miriam and Harsha will discuss how they navigated the job search as a married couple, the benefits of working in industry, the daily life of a non-bench and bench scientist, and the differences between large pharma and startups!
