About
Yaehyun Lee
MSc student, Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Management, UCL · I write BIO:ON
BIO:ON is the newsletter I write each week while learning about the biotech and pharma industry. I read the original global coverage and share what I've understood through a Korean lens and a career lens. I'm still learning, so where expert judgement is needed I draw on published industry sources and public interviews with people in the roles, always cited.
For recruiters
I'm looking for graduate programmes and internships starting in 2027.
