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.

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
