Chief Science Officers come from a variety of Science backrounds including Pharmacy
Science Officers Lead The Way in Irelands start up and established Pharmaceutical R&D companies. They provide the scientific backbone of R&D, Regulatory affairs and Pharmacovigilence activity where insight and understanding go hand in hand.
A typical Chief Science Officer will manage and administer the actvities of other medical drug safety officers, science officers and technical personnel involved first hand in project engineering and the management of other scientists who may also be Pharmacists engaged in the introduction of new drugs which will also involve vigilence reporting and monitoring of ADR’s and PSUR’s.
Irish Pharmaceutical enterprises are highly engaged in the latest Pharmaceutical drug research and development and it is through the technical and scientific know how of science officers that Ireland has gained significant FDI (Foreign Direct Investment)
Eight out of ten major internationla biopharma and pharmaceutical multinationals have now sited here in Ireland and this is showing no sign of slowing yet despite the economic downturn.

Science Officer/ Pharmacist at work
Drug Safety Officer or Chief Science Officer personnel work within pharmacovigilence and are responsible for the monitoring of developed and post marketed products.The role can involve writing of periodic safety update reports (PSUR) and also ensuring the accuracy of these reports written by colleagues in the same department.
PSUR’s are sometimes issued not only internally but for general distribution to offices internationally and these updates are tracked on Databases allowing for close monitoring of Adverse Event Reports (AER’s) to a wider technical community to enhance the safety awareness of drugs in use in the pharmacist community here and abroad.
Drug Safety Officers are usually pharmacists with Phamacy degrees who have worked in hospitals in the UK or Ireland for the HSE or NHS. The current demand for Drug safety officers is on the increase given wider ranges of products currently being developed for customers worldwide which has led to a corresponding increase in science jobs openings for science and pharma graduates. Given the current employment market it is a healthy option for candidates keen to look for a job less ordinary.
