Transitioning from Megafund PE to Strategy at Biotech Company

Hi! Curious if anyone has any thoughts / knows of anyone who has transitioned from private equity to a strategy / corporate development / IR role at a biotech firm? For context, I’ve been working at a PE megafund for 2.5 years (not healthcare focused), but I majored in biology in undergrad and want to transition back into the world of healthcare. Any insights are appreciated, thanks!
