In 2013, Susan Winks joined the Holistic Drug Discovery and Development Centre (H3D) at the University of Cape Town as a research scientist, hoping to help reduce South Africa’s huge burden
of disease. She had previously done a PhD in organic chemistry at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, finishing in 2009, then worked at the now-shuttered start-up iThemba
Pharmaceuticals in Johannesburg as a medicinal chemist. In 2011, Winks began a master’s of business administration (MBA) at distance-education provider MANCOSA to learn about the business of
science and how to improve processes at iThemba. At H3D, she became frustrated with inefficiencies in project management and pivoted to operations; she now heads research operations and
business development at the centre. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
