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

New Science Jobs planned for in Medical Devices and Biopharma
Investment in new science jobs are being planned in the areas of Biopharmaceuticals, Medical Device Manufacture, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals and Semiconductor manufacturing.
The IDA announced yesterday that their strategic investment plan Horizon 2020 will involve the creation of over one hundred thousand new jobs in the next five years through a combination of nurturing indigenous employers and targeting FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) from the likes of Pfizer, Intel, Teleflex, KCI, Boston Scientific and HP.
FDI has created over 140, 000 jobs and supports indirectly 240,000 jobs in the economy which has led to expenditure of €19 Billion and payroll of close to €7 Billion.
But has been said before plans are great but action is better- lets hope the IDA plans come to fruition.

Validation Engineer Validating Medical Device Equipment
Validating Quality Control is essential for products being manufactured under extremely highly tolerances and to demanding Quality standards such as those found with medical device and pharmaceutical manufacture.
Validation is a quality control process that measures and tests against requirements that a system, product or service is achieving what it is required to do. For instance in manufacturing it is a process of zeroing equipment or plant to the exact parameters it must operate to, to produce product to an exact standard inorder to achieve a stated and fixed end result within fixed specifications outside of which it is not acceptable.
In essence it is the process of fitness of purpose testing with the end user or other stake holders.
In many circumstances in manufacturing it can involve either computers, (hardware and software), equipment or an entire operating process or facility.
Validation in short can be explained by the question, “are you building the right thing?” and often requires reference to the Users Requirement Specifications or URS and the validation process can require a set of stringent protocols to achive completion referred to by the following terminology, IQ (Installation Qualification/OQ(Operational Qualification/Performance Qualification
Opportunities in Science jobs in Ireland today include positions for Validation Engineers, Validation Managers and Validation Document Control for a variety of industries and are readily found in high spec environments such as Biopharma, Pharmaceuticals, Semiconductors and Medical Device Manufacturing and are amongst some of the most highly paid science and engineering occupations availlable despite the current economic conditions.

Medical Devices Marketing Directors Lead the Way
The Market for Marketing Directors and Managers for Science jobs has broadened and expanded to include almost all science sectors. Medical Device Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Biopharmaceuticals and laterly IC have begun to experience a resurgence of growth that is a positive indicator for the employment prospects of sales and marketing professionals. To date, all have witnessed considerable retrenchment in the technology sectors but no longer is this the case.
Medical Device and Pharmaceuticals manufacturing in Ireland as previously discussed has witnessed steady growth despite a global downturn that has affected most other sectors.
Medical Device Marketing Directors and Managers with expertise in marketing medical devices particularly disposable products are in great demand given the presence of such firms as Teleflex, Merit Medical, Boston Scientific and Medtronic who have seen huge growth in demand for their products.
Additionally, we have witnessed a considerable increase in key positions such as Pharmaceutical Sales and Marketing Manager, Chief Science Officer and Head of Research & Development to aid the development, sales and marketing of these new products for the local and foreign export markets.
New automated manufacturing technologies have also helped to reduce manufacturing costs for these goods and allied to applied R&D in these sectors there have been startling new product developments which have produced corresponding increased profits resulting in a far greater resilient industrial sector engaged in new science job creation centers which are of such vital importance to Ireland’s new smart economy.

Research and Development in Biotechnology
R&D continues to witness increasing growth despite the downturn taking place in Ireland as new announcements have continued to be made by multinational companies involved in areas such as Medical Devices, Biopharma and Pharmaceutical manufacturing.
R&D or Research and Development has resulted in greater career prospects at home for Irelands science and technical professionals who continue to gain international respect for their work in fields as diverse as polymer technology, advanced medical products, telecommunications software and hardware.
As a result there has been a major increase in demand for R&D managers, R&D Engineers and Research associates carrying out front line research which has had the spin off effect of an increase in demand for Quality Assurance Managers and Engineers in addition to Regulatory Affairs professionals who form part of the collective support structure required for this ever increasing technical environment.
Recruitment is brisk and demand for science professionals for all these sectors is steadily increasing at a pace that seems to defy the current economic trend. Long may it continue
