In this episode of the RACE in STEM podcast, host Steve Fuller speaks with Moyo Tobun, a clinical research leader and founder supporting clinical trials across phases II–IV.

Moyo describes herself as “made in the UK and assembled in Nigeria” – a phrase that captures how her upbringing across two cultures shaped her confidence, discipline, and resilience. Starting her career as a bench scientist, she knew early on that staying in one lane wasn’t for her.

This episode is an honest and grounded conversation about:

• Taking ownership of your career path
• Moving beyond job titles and traditional routes
• Navigating cultural differences at work without losing yourself
• Building something meaningful when curiosity meets lived experience
