Episode 23: Prof Paul Peter Tak: Rheumatology, Real Impact and Comfort Zones

Prof Paul Peter Tak is my guest on the podcast this week. He talks to me about growing up in the Netherlands. his medical career and how he ended up specializing in Rheumatology. We chat about his impressive career in Rheumatology research, his massive contributions to the field and how he wants to make a real impact on patients lives.

We also chat about his decision to leave academia and join big pharma, why that's not necessarily 'moving to the dark side' and his latest ventures now in biotech. Paul Peter gives some great advice on the benefits of doing things that are slightly out of your comfort zone and how this can 'energize you'.
