ZBM were delighted to be invited along to this PRBB event entitled ‘Meet the companies’ which was held on 19th November. Organised by the PRBB centres and the PRBB Intervals Programme, the event’s goal was to give the PRBB community a chance to learn more about the many businesses in the life science sector, including their operations, the types of profiles that are employed there, the selection procedures, etc. Participating companies included those from the fields of biotech, pharmaceutical, consulting, scientific communication and intellectual property, to name but a few. The entire PRBB community, but especially PhD students, postdocs, and lab technicians, were welcome to attend and garner information about career possibilities at various life science firms directly from the source.

ZBM’s Montserrat Jané and Bernabé Zea, being our top chemistry and IP experts, were present to give firsthand insight into the wide-ranging work undertaken by ZBM and the interesting career possibilities we can offer. Other companies that participated in the event were Flomics, Genomcore, Integra, Invivo, Made of Genes, Teamit, TPM Science, Ubik Media, Veristat, and Ysios.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and for their interest and participation, as well as to the PRBB for arranging this event. We appreciate chances such as these that foster innovation and knowledge sharing between industry and academia.
