This special episode was recorded at a live event in Edinburgh on 2 October 2025. We gathered to discuss the role of external experts in commercialising research and how to recruit and support a more diverse pool of experts.

Elad Katz is the co-founder and chief technology officer for Navigate Precision Biology, a spinout from University of Dundee. Rachel Connolly is an Enterprise Executive at Heriot Watt University specialising in deep tech commercialisation. Chris Jones is Chair and Non-Executive Director for a portfolio of life science companies and an experienced commercial champion.

The panel talks about

  • The need for flexibility and matching the right experts with the right project at the right time
  • How the current role descriptors and expectations might be attracting the wrong people
  • Addressing the lack of diversity amongst the current pool of external experts
  • Why relationships, commitment and drive can be more important than experience
