Phil Jones, BioAscent

"For me, drug hunting is almost the perfect job. I like chemistry, using it to interact with biological systems is really challenging, and ultimately you're trying to make something that benefits patients, which is incredibly worthwhile." This is what drives Phil Jones, Chief Scientific Officer at drug discovery CRO BioAscent, to keep pushing for good science done by good people. We sat down with Phil recently to talk about his career and what he's learned along the way. We discussed: 🔬 The importance of becoming an expert in your field 🔬 Why having good people around you is vital 🔬 How the role of the chemist is changing, and what's remained the same 🔬 The crucial role of networking and interacting with different kinds of people to expand your knowledge
