David Cook, Blueberry Therapeutics

"It's a little like a Formula One car - it's extremely fast, it's very agile, but you've only just got enough fuel to finish the race." David Cook is the Chief Scientific Officer of Blueberry Therapeutics, a dermatology company using nanotechnology to treat several common conditions. We talked about how his childhood and particularly his mother nurtured his interest in science, the differences between academia and industry, his experiences at the forefront of the early days of bioinformatics and Blueberry's journey from start-up to clinical stage Biotech. He also shared with us the lessons he's learned along the way, and why keeping your eyes open in your career is essential.
