 In this episode of the Elevate podcast channel, Opening Doors series, MAPS co-founder Kirk Shepard speaks with Renu Juneja about her serendipitous path from a PhD program in India into the pharmaceutical industry. As Renu describes, she nearly quit science to take a retail management position to support her family, when she got an interview for a medical writing position at Novo Nordisk...and spent an afternoon sitting in Barnes & Noble to read up on what, exactly, a medical writer does. 

In this episode of the Elevate podcast channel, Opening Doors series, MAPS speaks with Renu Juneja, who started a medical writing fellowship program at Janssen, and with two of her former fellowship participants, Jennifer Lee and Lauren Brown.
