From Biomedical Sciences PhD to Equity Research

Hello,

I am a current graduate student at a top tier university. I recently became interested in the public market particularly biotechnology and pharma investing. I started a small portfolio and began following companies this space but also importantly, develop my own criteria for investing. I am now looking at Equity Research as a potential career path after graduate school. I was wondering if there is someone here who has made the transition from academia into Equity Research. I'd love to know more about Equity Research and you career transition. PM me. Thanks in advance!
