Take a good look at your career path in science
Have you chosen your career path in Science?
Do you know what you want to do in your chosen career?
Take the time to look into what you want to do with your qualifications and experience to date. A common question I am asked by both graduates and with 2-3 years relevant industry experience is “Where do I go from here?”. A common question from employers is “What job would they like to progress to next?”, and believe it or not the two go hand in hand when it comes to job seeking.
For example, those of you with a base degree in Biochemistry, Biomedical Science or Pharmacy have a lot more options that you may think, and it is those of you who have done your research who are already on this path.
The one common denominator of these types of areas is Research, namely in the Pharmaceutical world. There are so many directions you can go within the Pharmaceutical industry, for example clinical trials, medical affairs, clinical research, clinical analysis ….. the list goes on!
A lot of Science graduates go into Quality testing and Lab Analyst jobs as a means to get Scientific experience post graduation. If you are one of those, take a look around the company and see what departments there are either inhouse or on a global level – the only way you can go is up.
Here is an example of a path you could look into:
Lab Anaylst — Clinical Biochemist — Scientific Advisor — Clinical Trials Associate — Product Manager — Medical Science Liaison
For those in Pharmacy….. have a think about pharmacovigilence!
The lists and the combinations of career path in science go on and on, so my advice is to look into your career path in Science – it is up to you how far you take it! There are jobs in Science and jobs in Pharmaceutical, all you need to do is decide which direction you want to take and go with it.

Success for EndoFLIP!
Cropson’s EndoFLIP has had it’s first use in a new weight loss surgery technique, known as gastric imbrications.
The reversible gastric imbrications technique is a unique procedure that needs no device implanted or no tissue removed from the stomach.
The potential for success in the US is quite realistic, given the popularity for weight loss surgery in the US.
“The EndoFLIP device has the avility to change the way we do bariatric surgery all over the world” says Dr Daniel Cottam, “There has been nothing as revolutionary as this device since the lap band”.
Cottam added “I believe in five years we won’t know how we ever did bariatric surgery without it”.
EndoFLIP technology “fills an important need for the gastric imbrications procedure, namely providing visual feedback to the surgeon “, John O Dea, CEO Crospon as said.
Once again, we wish Crospon the very best of luck with their venture in the US.
Watch this space for further EndoFLIP updates!

Eland to sell off EDT
Plans to sell Elan’s drug technology business EDT may rise a portion from when Kelly Martin aimed to sell in 2008.
Elan’s EDT is said to be worth $900m should it float on the US Stock market. Elan almost sold off for $1.4bn in 2008 with a number of equities reaching the second round of bidding.
Between the collapse of Lehman Brothers and financial panic, the deal was scuppered.
Here’s hoping the deal goes their way this time around!

Gastric -Band Technology
Following FDA approval for their EndoFLIP product, Medical Device developer Crospon has broken into the US market.
Crospon develops medical devices within the area of gastroenterology specifically in monitoring, diagnosis and therapy.
The World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery were presented with pilot clinical trial results for the optimum stoma size for gastric band adjustment.
Following the release in the European market in 2009, EndoFLIP will now be launched in the US market.
“Gastric banding is the fastes-growing class of bariatric surgery in the US, and we believe that EndoFLIP can bring a new science to gastric-band adjustment”, says Larry Fulton, VP Sales for the Americas.
Crospon Principal investigator Dr Robert G Snow also added, “In addition, we look forward to collaborating with a number of new leading bariatric surgery study centres inside and outside of the US as we collectively seek to better define new techniques for best use of the EndoFLIP system for gastric band adjustments”.

Nanoscience gets funding
New Jobs in Irish Nanoscience Research?
Nanoscience research institute CRANN is to create new jobs in Research & Development, leading research projects including cancer research and computer chips.
The majority of these seventeen newly created positions are to be in the Institute of Molecular Medicine and TCD School of Medicine in conjunction with CRANN. This particular team will be aiming at nanomedical technology in the early diagnosis of cancer.
The remaining 5 positions are to be with Intel as CRANN focuses on developing computer chips for the next generation.
Professor John Boland, Director of CRANN says “Ireland is now globally recognised for it’s expertise in the area of nanoscience, as evidenced by the large amounts of non-exchequer funding we are winning through competitive international research projects.” He goes on to say “Research is a global competition and we need to contuinue to develop our knowledge base and expertise to make Ireland a true innovation centre”
The investment was seen as a “huge vote of confidence” by Professor Dermot Kelleher of TCD School of Medicine.

Semiconductor Wafer Fabrication Technician
Intels next generation is here. The Atom range of chips sets will power the next generation of note books and entry level PC’s and hopefuly for Intel steal a march on its major competitors- notable AMD. Original Engineering Manufacturers have already indicated their commitment to using the new processors in their systems within weeks, the NM450 and NM10 are already lined up for the Notebooks and the entry level PC’s are expected to utilise either the D410 or D510 processors.
All of this is good news for the Intel Ireland facility based at Leixlip which has seen major investment in the FAB 24 and FAB 24-2 wafer fabrication facilities which will undoutedly be ramping up to take account of increased demand in the coming months.
Leixlip has several Wafer FABbrication facilties the newest of which opened only 2 years ago and which will newly see the opening of an advanced R&D facility.
Currently Intel is upgrading and retrofitting both the FAB 10 and FAB 14 facilities which will add increased manufacturing capacity to a plant which is already operating at peak demand.
