An ideal day for Dr. Yvonne Will involves "having a smile on my face, making a difference and making safer drugs." As a Senior Principal Scientist in Exploratory Medicinal Sciences at Pfizer's Global Research Development labs in Groton, CT, Dr. Will is an expert on mitochondrial biology and uses this knowledge to help ensure the creation of medicines that deliver tangible benefit to patients safely. Originally from Germany, Dr. Will came to the U.S. to get a Master's degree and PhD in biochemistry/biophysics from Oregon State University. A self proclaimed "mitochondriac," she believes that in order to be good at science, "You need a passion. An obsession. Every day."
