Roland Burli, Cerevance

"In the first few years [of your career], what's really important is to establish yourself. You learn a certain skillset in academia...the next thing is to really apply that in the context of a drug discovery project....if you develop a proven track record as a good scientist, good things will happen." Roland Burli is the Vice President of Drug Discovery at Cerevance, where he and his team are using a unique platform to develop new treatments for brain diseases. Roland joined us to discuss his varied career to date, from landing in LA with just a backpack to working for some of the industry's biggest names. Enjoy!
