Science starts with a desire to answer the unanswered; a fascination with what makes us, us. And for many scientists, this feeling stems from a specific question, usually at a young age.

Alejandra Solache’s innate need to understand the mysteries of the human body had her on a quest for knowledge when she was a child. Now as Senior Vice President of R&D at Abcam, her work provides a crucial stepping stone to other scientists and represents that we never work in isolation.
