Transition from academia to industry: An interview with Elizabeth Paik

-

We have all read many articles about the possible career choices of a scientist. The usual dilemma is between industry and academia. We have talked about this in previous blogs but the more information we get the easier it is to make a wise choice. Of course we all have opinions about the pros and cons of such a choice but what I always find best is to ask people who have experienced both. That is why I turned to an old colleague and friend, Elizabeth Paik, and asked her some questions regarding her experiences in both academia and industry. Can you describe to us your scientific career? I started my career at Harvard Medical School, as a graduate student in Dr. Len Zon's laboratory. My thesis work focused on understanding a role of CDX transcription factors during embryonic hematopoiesis. Through ChIP-seq, knockdown and overexpression studies in zebrafish, I showed CDX transcription factors control expression of hematopoietic transcription factors - SCL and LMO2. Towards the...

  Each month, Simply Blood spotlights a lab contributing to the fields of hematology, immunology, stem cell research, cell and gene therapies, and more. Get to know groups doing cutting edge research from around the world! This month, we are featuring the Vanuytsel Lab which is based out of the Center for Regenerative Medicine, Boston University. How long has your lab been open and who is in your lab currently? The lab opened in July 2023 and currently consists of a lab manager, a PhD student, a postdoc and three undergraduate researchers. What is the overarching research goal for your group? Our lab studies concepts at the intersection of hematopoietic development, stem cell biology and sickle cell disease. We are trying to gain an in-depth understanding of engraftment potential and how that is orchestrated during development so that we can harness those insights to improve stem cell engraftment in the context of gene therapy and stem cell transplantations. What we learn from stu...
