“The Mercury Mentorship program has been a tremendous experience for me. My mentors have been engaged, collaborative and insightful and it was terrific to connect with C-suite members from other industry types outside of Biotechnology. My mentors have provided me with many thought provoking questions that will help prepare me for the future. I have particularly enjoyed the workshop sessions which have been facilitated by top Academic Leaders and these workshops in turn have provided a great forum to connect with my cohort peers.”
