Publish papers, secure funding and move steadily up the academic ladder. For a long time that system worked well enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday the landscape is shifting. Researchers everywhere are feeling the pressure. Opportunities are shrinking, funding feels more competitive, institutions are struggling to keep pace and industrial philanthropy and global investors are increasingly shaping the direction of discovery. Many researchers are beginning to sense that the rules they were trained to follow no longer match the world they now work in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat feeling isn't imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBreakthrough\u003c\/em\u003e reveals what's really happening beneath the surface of the research economy. It explains why so many talented researchers feel stuck, under-funded and unable to gain traction with their work. Drawing on stories and experiences of real researchers, and his own experience across medical research, venture capital, philanthropy and innovation ecosystems, Dougal introduces readers to another system - one that's shaped not only by discovery, but also by translation, collaboration and real-world impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough powerful stories of researchers navigating this changing environment, \u003cem\u003eBreakthrough\u003c\/em\u003e shows researchers how they can move their work beyond the laboratory and into the world, by connecting their project to real needs and building momentum beyond traditional academic and institutional structures.
