Claire Thompson on being a leading woman in science

There is no doubt that Claire Thompson is a leading light in the pharmaceutical world. She was good enough to take time out from running her business, Agility Health Tech, to have a chat about where she has been and what her plans for the future are. We discussed Claire's role as a leading woman in science, sexism and her Northern Irish heritage.
