Career Development in the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Industry
Last week, at the NIH Career Symposium, I was a panelist in a session on global public health careers. Public health is getting a lot of attention now, especially among scientists who desire tangible impact. The other panelists worked in government public health agencies, and I was the only panelist in the pharmaceutical industry. Here, I share my notes from preparing for the session and some thoughts after the discussion with attendees.
This week Michelle and I returned virtually to our alma mater, The University of Pennsylvania. We were excited to share our experiences working in the pharmaceutical industry with biomedical graduate students. We were joined by Dara Reeves, Sr. Scientist at Janssen, to chat with members of the Ernest E. Just Biomedical Society. This group "aims to serve the general academic, social and professional needs of the biomedical community, with an emphasis on the retention of underrepresented PhD students."
