Notes from April 17th FILS Event on R&D Career Paths
Of all the careers available in the life science industry, research and development often seems the most attractive and straightforward point for academic researchers to enter the private sector. But what are the differences between academic and industrial research? What is the best way to get a job at a biotech or pharmaceutical company? What are the differences between working at a startup compared to a large biotech/pharma? A distinguished panel of PhDs from a number of local companies discussed these questions and many others at the Futures in Life Sciences Series held at the new MassBio offices in Technology Square, Cambridge, on April 17th, 2012.
We would like to thank our Sponsors Emmanuel College, Averica Discovery Services, and Mass AWIS for their support of this event.
