Self-employment in synthetic biology

New co-working approaches multiply. Some people prefer to be self-employed (to freely manage their working time) and be remote consultants on a specific topic/subject with multiple clients, rather than being permanently employed by one organization. Startups’ activities often do not need 100% commitment from one specific collaborator, but necessitate occasional consulting on specific missions. Both statements support the idea of self-employment.

SYNBEE proposes to train candidates in multiple transversal topics on the crossroads between bioengineering and entrepreneurship. It will provide exceptional exposure to a broad network of industrial and other market players – potential clients, providing a great opportunity for self-employment.
Interviews with currently self-employed consultants aim to provide an overview and tips, helping to better organize transition to self-employment. One of the first interviews in this series is with Paul Naphtali, Founder of GenoWrite.
