Immunologist by trade, entrepreneur by heart

Profile Summary

Martyna is an accomplished scientist with a PhD degree in immunology. Born in Poland, she completed her studies in South Africa and spent ten years studying and working in various countries abroad, including the Netherlands, Germany, and South Africa. Her travels and educational experiences in each country have made her aware of the many pitfalls in higher education. Her particular focus is on health science postgraduates, which she regularly discusses on our YouTube channel “Science Bridge”. Her passion for the motivation and education of postgraduate students resulted in a one-of-a-kind Alternative Career Development Workshop 2020 for Faculty of Health Sciences students at the University of Cape Town and the Hybrid Biotechnology Job Expo 2021. She has published several articles and reports on the needs of biotechnology postgraduate students in South Africa. She is a founder of Science Bridge, a company specializing in creating opportunities for biotechnology-related students across the country. Martyna is also a founder of BuildUP Science Career Accelerator, a 2-year program providing support, guidance, education and mentorship for both students entering the job market and entrepreneurs. Today Martyna is advocating for creating joint ventures across the country, which will aid the transition of talented postgraduates to industry and create more jobs for unemployed alums.
