From Academia to Startups

About this episode

This episode explores the transition from academic research to the startup world, featuring insights from guests who have made that shift.

In this episode, we’re diving into the world of start-ups and what it takes to move from academic research to the industrial stage. We’re joined by Kristina Haase (EMBL Barcelona) and Marc Talló (noctuRNA Therapeutics, a UPF's spinoff) who are making that very transition, sharing their experiences of shifting mindsets from academia to the commercial world, finding funding, and redefining priorities when moving from pure research to real-world impact. For our transversal discussion, we talk about why team composition matters and how priorities can differ between academic and start-up environments. ‘Science With a View’ a PRBB production: Script & presenter: Chris George Editing: Inés Fuentes Recording: Jordi Blanco & Rosa Camacho Post-production: Teo Grimalt Theme tune: Liam Colomer (voice-over, Alix Musset)
