S4 - Episode 8: Bench to Boardroom: From PhD to MSL to CEO with Dr. Alex Palumbo

Dela

What does it actually take to go from pipettes to pitches?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alex Palumbo: neuroscientist, former Medical Science Liaison, and founder & CEO of MEDSCION, for an honest, energizing conversation about life after academia.

Alex shares how a biology bachelor's in Düsseldorf, a metabolism master's in Lausanne, and a neuroscience PhD at the Fraunhofer Institute in Lübeck led him to a postdoc at Harvard Medical School and eventually to a career pivot he never fully planned. From accidentally landing his first MSL role, to understanding what it really means to "translate" your PhD skills for industry, to breaking down why the "industry is the dark side" mentality is holding scientists back, Alex brings refreshing candor and practical wisdom to every answer.

Whether you're deep in your PhD, finishing a postdoc, or just starting to wonder what's next, this episode is for you.
