Building Your Own Table with Jennifer DailyIn this episode of She Leads Biotech, I’m joined by Jennifer Daily, neuroscientist, biotech executive, and founder, for a conversation about leadership, drug development, and the journey from employee to entrepreneur.Jennifer shares how working across clinical development, regulatory affairs, manufacturing, and preclinical research gave her a unique perspective on what it really takes to move therapies from concept to patient.We also discuss the realities of gene therapy, why execution is often more important than great science alone, the power of building a strong network, and what inspired her to launch her own company in the neuroscience space.A thoughtful conversation about leadership, risk-taking, and creating opportunities instead of waiting for them.Chapters00:00 Introduction02:30 Discovering Science & Neuroscience05:00 Moving from Academia to Industry08:00 What Industry Looks for in Scientists10:00 Seeing the Full Drug Development Picture13:00 Why Great Science Isn't Enough16:00 Funding Plans, Not Hope19:00 From Executive to Founder22:00 Building a Company in Neuroscience25:00 Creating a Culture Where Every Voice Matters28:00 Risk, Decision-Making & Leadership31:00 The Future of Gene Therapy34:00 Career Advice, Networking & Growth#SheLeadsBiotech #WomenInBiotech #BiotechLeadership #GeneTherapy #Neuroscience #FemaleFounder #CNAUSAExecutiveSearch
