On the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science<\/a>, Research Luxembourg<\/a> returns with a fourth season of the video series Women [& Girls] in Science<\/a>, in collaboration with the Ministry for Gender Equality and Diversity and the Ministry of Research and Higher Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this campaign, several videos are highlighting the stories of six women in science in Luxembourg, giving you a glimpse of what different science journeys can look like. Dr Silvia Colucci<\/a>, manager of the Bioincubator<\/a> at the House of Biohealth and Partnerships Officer at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine<\/a> (LCSB), is among the 6 women featured in this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nFrom passion to possibilities<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr Colucci\u2019s passion for science ignited early on and led her to pursue a PhD in Biochemistry at the Imperial College London. While she still carries a scientific mindset into her everyday life, her career path has had \u201cunexpected and wonderful turns\u201d since then. For Silvia, science has never been about fitting into a mold and her journey reflects exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her years as a consultant in digital transformation and innovation for the pharmaceutical industry, financial services, and public sectors in the UK and Luxembourg, shaped what she calls her \u201ccareer toolbox\u201d. \u201cI don\u2019t fit in any box, and you don\u2019t have to either. Being a scientist doesn\u2019t mean limiting yourself to one role,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst the hectic world of innovation, Dr Colucci finds grounding in something completely different: antiques. “I love wandering through flea markets,” she adds. It is a passion she shares with her kids, showing them that life exists beyond the digital world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nA message for future scientists<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To the next generation of women and girls interested in science, she offers a powerful message: \u201cLet your passion and curiosity lead the way, and don\u2019t be afraid to redefine what a career in science looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
