Your Career Path in Science

Take a good look at your career path in science

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.

“Super Aspirin”

Friday, June 18th, 2010
Nearly a thing of the past

Nearly a thing of the past

“Super Asprin” makes it’s mark.

John Gilmer has broken through the aspirin barrier to form this “Super Asprin”. He is now apparently in talks with Solvatrin Theraputics regarding developing the drug.

Solvatrin Theraputics are the company behind what has now been named as “Super Aspirin”, and are in talks with a number of multinational pharma companies.

Based in Cork, the company expects the super product to be “on the shelf” in the next two years. Regulatory approval pending, the sale are set to top €500m in the space of 8 years!

Dr John Gilmer has spent in excess of 10 years working on the “Super Aspirin” believes it will give you all the benefits of aspirin but not the gastro-intestinal bleeding side effect. In order to protect the intestine and stomach lining, Gilmer discovered that he could deactivate the aspirin and re-activate at a later stage by enzymes naturally present in the blood. Basically, the aspirin content content becomes active as soon as it reaches the bloodstream.

“Our research has shown the market demands a solution to the side effects of aspirin and our drug directly addresses this problem” says c0-founder Pat O’Flynn.

It appears that June is a good month for Research, Development and Pharmaceuticals – Gilmer’s 10 years hard work has finally paid off

Elan $900m Sale

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010
Eland to sell off EDT

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!

Science Jobs are Engineering the Future

Science Jobs in Engineering

Science Jobs in Engineering

Science Jobs are engineering the future in Ireland today as the demand for R&D Engineers, Polymer Engineers, QA/RA Engineers and openings for senior professionals such as, Head of Research & Development,  Regulatory Affairs Specialists and Scientists continues to increase despite the economic downturn.

In particuar Research and Development investment from inward and outward sources has trebled in the past 10 years and is now at €2.6 billion or almost 1.7% of GNP. Intelectual property rights within the pharmaceutical, medical devices, software and ICT  manufacturing industries are now being given serious consideration as a major and strategic contributor to Ireland’s economy which as a revenue generator has a far greater long term financial generational potential than energy resource such as offshore oil and gas which todate have proved so far to be both costly and disappointing.

With the advent of the internet, Ireland has found its engineers and scientists research and design skills are now open for trade with the world and unlike natural resources are only limited by the numbers we educate and train in our universities and colleges.

To this end, Ireland has already begun a move away from depending on the goodwill or self interest of overseas multinationals and is now making provision for the future itself by strategically identifying those industries and markets worldwide that our native human resource skills can be applied to and to gain our financial share of  a global market that numbers in the Trillions of Euros.

As previously mentioned Ireland is already at an advanced stage of exploiting opportunities within the global nano technology markets that combine hybrid technolgies such as biopharma -nanobots, programable drugs and micro medical devices.

Instead of being discouraged by the limitations of what resources we have had in the past, Ireland is now positively assessing what we do have and the futher potential we have by shaping the world around us to our advantage to engineer the future.

After all  the description of Ireland in the past as that as the Island of Saints and Scholars is not far from what we would wish overseas investors seeing Ireland anew as, the Isle of R&D.
