From Academia to Startups

In this episode, we’re diving into the world of start-ups and what it takes to move from academic research to the industrial stage. We’re joined by Kristina Haase (EMBL Barcelona) and Marc Talló (noctuRNA Therapeutics, a UPF's spinoff) who are making that very transition, sharing their experiences of shifting mindsets from academia to the commercial world, finding funding, and redefining priorities when moving from pure research to real-world impact. For our transversal discussion, we talk about why team composition matters and how priorities can differ between academic and start-up environments.
