This is an opportunity for me share my personal story and may be inspire others how I have changed my career path after working for 13 years as an organic, nano material, polymer and pharmaceutical chemist  both in academia and industry. Having worked as a bench chemist and project management chemist in drug discovery for a pharmaceutical company has given me the opportunity to realize that my passion for chemistry and science need not be confined to a career in the lab. However, in whatever path I wanted to take, I knew that I have to leverage the rich experience of my chemistry education and career in the industry. I currently work head the technology transfer function in academia trying to help academic scientists to view their technologies with a market lens and a customer lens and help them with the process of moving technologies from the bench to the market place through various pathways thus advancing chemistry and innovating for sustainability
