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.

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

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.

Flat.. or Round? - For and against Science
For and against Science? This is apparently the image presented at the Global Irish Economic Forum by Green Minister Eamonn Ryan who on the one hand wants to promote Green technology but on the other hand wants to have Ireland declared a country where all food items linked to GM will be banned.
Not only does this appear to be impractical but it also seriously detracts from Ireland’s reputation as a country that is open to scientific research in all fields of research and development.
When so much of our economy today rests on exploring all aspects and branches of scientific research and development- and more relevantly the appliance of science, it is baffling to see the logic underlying the green party ministers proposals.
Why should one aspect or application of science be more or less deserving of merit than another?
Given the increase in the human population in the past twenty years alone, climate changes leading to less and less useable land given over to agriculture, crops will need to be hardier and different kinds of crops will need to be developed to meet just some of these challenges.
To take a dubious moral high ground that seeks to ignore and discredit a complete strand of science and the scientific and practical benefits of genetically modified foods is ignorant and shortsighted. Worse it is stating to the Scientific World that we do not understand the very basis of science and do not have any credibility in claiming to be a progressive and pro-scientfic country.
GM research and development (R&D)has real scientific merit and the potential to create jobs where this country desperately needs them.
If we declare Ireland a GM free zone, then also we deny reality and pass opportunity to our competitors who will surely reap the rewards. We will also contribute further to the brain drain that is becoming more and more a threat to the Irish Scientific Research community.
But perhaps science and reason will yet prevail- after all there was a time when people believed the Earth was flat…

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

Unlocking Human Potential
Welcome again to Myscience jobs.com on this fine glorious day.
Ireland is developing a reputation as a center of excellence for science jobs in the areas of nanotechnology, R&D and Genetics
Nanotechnology in particular has just recently come into focus lately with the news that in twenty years Humanity may achieve immortality.
“How so?” says you. Well, an American scientist Ray Kurtzweil, predicts that with the increasing pace of Human understanding and the integration of new technologies such as genetics, computer science and nanotechnology, it may be possible for Human vital organs and neural systems to be replaced before they begin to degenerate thereby expanding and prolonging natural Human longevity by reversing the process of ageing.
Mr. Kurtzweil’s theories may not be so outlandish when you consider that the first heart and lung transplants were only performed in 1981- a mere 28 years ago. Previously this too had been consider in the realms of science fantasy.
Equally, the Human Genome project took only 13 years to complete, commenced in 1990 and completed in 2003, it had been expected to take far longer but advances in computing and related disciplines accelerated this to the point of shaving several years off the initially anticipated project duration.
The lesson; technology is only limited by our ability to wonder and to create. For those who like to imagine then, science jobs offer potential;- perhaps even immortality?
Stay tuned to mysciencejobs.com for further news in the world of science and technology and for the best science jobs please visit Irelands best recruitment agency Jackie Brown Medical. We cant promise immortality but we can promise you NRF award winning service.
