NSYCC (Northeastern Section Younger Chemists Committee), reposted by ChemScene.

Meet the panelists: Rui （Rio） Cao, Regional Lead and Senior Business Development Manager at ChemScene. 🤝

Rio partners with academic and industry medicinal and process chemistry teams across the Northeast, Midwest, Colorado and Texas. She helps speed up drug discovery with high-quality reagents, building blocks and CRDMO (contract research, development and manufacturing) solutions.

Business development is a natural fit for chemists who enjoy science and people. The role takes real technical knowledge to understand customers' chemistry, plus relationship building, travel and strategy.

💬 Questions to bring:
• What does a business development manager in chemistry do day to day?
• How do you move from the lab into a commercial role?
• What skills make scientists good at business development?

Rio is on Panel #5: Innovative Careers in Science, alongside Dr. Madison H. McMinn, and Dan Wilson. Thank you to ChemScene for also sponsoring this year's symposium!
