This talk traces my path from master’s and PhD training through postdoctoral work to the first years of establishing an independent laboratory, highlighting strategies for early-career scientists navigating academic ecosystems. I will share lessons learned from launching a lab, including recruiting and mentoring trainees, scoping initial projects, selecting methods and infrastructure, and balancing teaching, grant writing, and the other responsibilities expected of a university professor.
Jhohann Richard de Lima Benzi, PhD
Professor
University of São Paulo
I received a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy and Biochemistry (2016) and a Master’s (2018) and Ph.D. (2022) in Sciences from the University of São Paulo, Brazil. During my graduate training, I completed research traineeships at Leiden University (Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research, the Netherlands) in 2018 and at the University of Washington (Department of Pharmaceutics, Seattle, USA) in 2022, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington (2022–2024). I am currently a faculty member in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of São Paulo (FCF-USP). My work focuses on Pharmacotherapy and Clinical Pharmacology, with emphasis on pharmacokinetics, pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PK–PD) relationships, and drug–disease interactions.
