Gabriela Cezar left a great job at Pfizer Inc. and took a pay cut to join the faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
“It’s not like I didn’t have the opportunity to go to the coasts,” said Cezar, a 33-year-old, Brazilian-born scientist who uses stem cells to test drugs and study diseases.
Cezar chose Madison because she sees so much potential for the biotech industry in Wisconsin.
