#119: Interview with Sajni Haria on transitioning from a PhD in Chemistry to a Business Development Manager

During your PhD, have you ever thought if the world actually needs your research? Would people want to use your product?

In this episode, Tina Persson and Sajni Haria discuss the entrepreneurial mindset that PhDs can train themselves with if they start thinking of the bigger picture of commercialising their research. Sajni also reminds us of how PhDs do not just have an academic skill set but also a vast set of transferable skills that can help them translate their research.

Sajni holds a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Birmingham and currently is a Business Development Manager at the National Institute of Health and Care Research. She supports the Life Science industry to navigate the UK's clinical research ecosystem whilst providing her business acumen.

Sajni also talks about how she transitioned from a doctoral researcher to a Business Development Manager where she helps to push research technologies forward, and finds opportunities for implementing these technologies in the real-world setting by fostering collaborations, thereby improving the quality of life of patients.

Listen to this episode to know more about Sajni's insights.
