MEET MOLLY

I work in communications and investor relations for a biotech, helping the public (from patients to the media to investors and analysts) understand our company’s science and business. My day to day involves everything from writing press releases to pitching media to working on website design to planning internal events for company culture building.

My company, Scholar Rock, does research on a family of proteins (called the TGF beta superfamily) that’s involved in a lot of different diseases. Some of the ones we’re focused on developing treatments for are spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and other neuromuscular diseases, obesity, and cancer. 

How did you get started? 

I was trained as a biologist and got my PhD in ecology and evolution--but I felt more drawn to science communication and writing than to starting my own lab and continuing on the research path. I was introduced to medical and scientific communications in the healthcare and biopharma context and went from there! 

Passions + Hobbies 

Spending time with my husband Tim and our dogs Rocky and Charlie, visiting family and friends, gardening, cooking, reading, swimming, exploring Maine!

Fun Fact: I studied plant-pollinator networks for my dissertation research, so I have a deep appreciation for native bees.

Why do you use Union + Co?

Meeting people and having a space to work outside the house.
