This is the first episode of our Special Interviews Series with Institute Directors, where we discuss the opportunities and challenges that come with being in charge of a research institute. The expertise required for this job is multi-varied: the director needs to develop ambitious research goals by relying on their teams' skills and scientific interests, leveraging the input of technical platforms at the service of science, coordinate the administrative support and constructively work with supervising bodies. This is no easy task: directors often have to learn on the job, as in their former life they were originally only scientists! • For the first interview of the series we approached Dr Florence Niedergang, Director of the Institut Cochin in Paris, France, who readily agreed to talk to us. Dr Niedergang described the strengths of the Institut Cochin, her ambitions for the Institute and how she efficiently organizes her time between her directorship role while still running a research lab. • Listen on Apple Podcasts • Listen on Spotify • • #aboutenzymesandmolecules • 0:00 - Introduction • 2:12 - Institut Cochin description • 3:30 - Main scientific objectives and research axes • 5:59 - Strengths of the institute • 9:12 - Weaknesses of the institute • 13:58 - A typical day in the working life of Dr Niedergang • 16:55 - Dr Niedergang's motivation to go into science • 20:11 - Research interests of Dr Niedergang's group • 24:13 - Ambitions for the Institut Cochin
