Paths Less Traveled: Opportunities<br />
for <strong>Pharmaceutical</strong> Scientists beyond<br />
Industry and Academia<br />
<strong>Pharmaceutical</strong> industry and academia provide<br />
the most common employment opportunities for<br />
the recent graduates in pharmaceutical sciences.<br />
Recent graduates, graduate students and postdoctoral<br />
fellows are less informed and aware <strong>of</strong><br />
the opportunities that exist in other areas such as<br />
regulatory agencies (USP and FDA), government<br />
funded research institutes (NIH, NSF, NASA etc),<br />
public and private research centers, contract<br />
research organizations (CROs) and consultancies.<br />
Goal <strong>of</strong> this roundtable is to inform the students<br />
and post-doctoral fellows about some <strong>of</strong> the<br />
opportunities that are available to pharmaceutical<br />
and biomedical scientists that are playing an<br />
increasing role in drug discovery, development,<br />
and clinical use. The speakers will provide a brief<br />
overview <strong>of</strong> responsibilities <strong>of</strong> pharmaceutical<br />
scientists in their respective areas, discuss the<br />
pros and cons <strong>of</strong> working at these organizations<br />
and guide the audience about searching and<br />
approaching available positions. The objective is to<br />
stimulate the audience interest in careers in areas<br />
other than academia and industry and discuss their<br />
aspirations with the speakers.<br />
Opportunities for <strong>Pharmaceutical</strong> Scientists in<br />
Regulatory Agencies and Affiliated Institutes<br />
