" According to Reichelt, biotech jobs are suited for people who are passionate about both science and the application of science to real-world problems. She said: “People who succeed in these roles are also highly rigorous, curious, and analytical. Teamwork is very important too, so having these ‘soft’ skills, including the ability to clearly communicate complex information and interpersonal skills, are vital too.” " Disclaimer - the views expressed here are of the Author only. https://lnkd.in/eqT9BaK4

Very recently, when we were brainstorming and capturing the biotech industry behaviour. We found something interesting. The career trajectory most of the times will end in the biotech industry irrespective of you completing your PhD & Post-doc. The quicker you understand this, you will have better career clarity & trajectory for yourself. Ask ‘WHY SHOULD I WANT TO DO A PH.D & POST.DOC?’ before you take a career decision as it will cost quite some amount of your years in biotech industry career. #biotech #career #bversity

Are You Industry-Ready? Pharma Expectations vs. Reality! In the Pharma world, there's often a gap between what’s taught in academic settings and what’s actually required in the industry. Understanding these differences can make a huge impact on how well-prepared you are for your career. Let’s break it down: 1. KNOWLEDGE FOCUS 👉 Academia: Focuses on theoretical concepts and detailed subject matter. 👉 Industry: Requires practical application of knowledge and hands-on experience. Companies value skills that can be immediately applied to real-world problems. 2. SKILLS 👉 Academia: Emphasizes deep technical knowledge and research capabilities. 👉 Industry: Looks for a balance of technical skills with strong soft skills like teamwork, communication, and adaptability. 3. WORK ORIENTATION 👉 Academic: Often centered around in-depth research and scientific discovery. 👉 Industry: Focuses on product development, regulatory compliance, and market application. Practical experience in these areas is crucial. 4. APPROACH 👉 Academia: Values rigorous analysis, detailed data interpretation, and scholarly research. 👉 Industry: Requires understanding of business operations, cost management, and strategic thinking to contribute to organisational goals. 5. Achievements: 👉 Academia: Typically highlights individual research and personal academic achievements. 👉 Industry: Prioritises collaborative efforts, cross-functional team work, and the ability to integrate within a team to achieve common objectives. ------------------- Pro Tip: Bridging the gap between these expectations starts with gaining practical experience, developing soft skills, and understanding industry-specific needs. ------------------- 👉 Ready to align your academic background with industry requirements?

The academic skills which students / researchers learn during their bachelors, masters and PhD is not sufficient enough to enter or pursue Industry dreams. For industry one need transferrable skills. Transitioning from academia to industry often requires more than just academic knowledge. While a master's or PhD prepares researchers with specialized expertise, industries like biotech and pharmaceuticals demand additional transferable skills. These transferable skills are also to a certain extent developed during one's PhD but I feel the required transferable skills required for (Biotech) industries (at least) are: ✔ Effective Communication ✔ Team work and execution ✔ Adaptability ✔ Skills to plan and manage (Project Management) ✔ Commercial awareness and Time management ✔ Commitment to Ethical Conduct ✔ Decision making ability ✔ Analysis of crude data and keeping proper records. ✔ Clinical trials management ✔ Pharmacoeconomics and Supply chain management ✔ Medical Writing and Quality Assurance control ✔ Overall understanding of the stages of drug development from discovery to commercialization and all other associated regulatory requirements. So , not just applying to the industries will fetch you the job ; recognizing and developing these skills is crucial for researchers aspiring to enter or advance in the industry, because they enhance employability, facilitate career growth, and ensure a smoother transition from academia to industry.

I am thrilled to share that I have officially graduated with a Master's in Biotechnology & Business from University College Dublin with a 2:1 grade! This journey has been filled with invaluable experiences and learning opportunities, and I am incredibly grateful to have completed this chapter. Throughout my academic journey, I gained expertise in business strategy, regulatory affairs, biomedical devices, and corporate finance. I had the privilege of working on impactful projects such as developing business strategies for David O'Connell's SXKymer Platform, HeartBeam and conducting regulatory analysis on Neuralink's first human trial. I am incredibly grateful for Antonio Garzón-Vico to have guided us throughout the year on our journey to become postgrads! Before this, I held the position of Project Associate at Easy Solutions, where I led validation activities, supported process automation, and helped multiple pharma and biotech companies move to a digital landscape in terms of their validation activities whilst ensuring compliance with global regulatory standards. I am now actively seeking opportunities in business analysis, project management, regulatory affairs, and computer systems validation within the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or medical device sectors. I am excited to bring my experience in cross-functional collaboration, regulatory compliance, and project leadership to the next chapter of my professional journey. If you know of any opportunities or would like to connect, feel free to reach out! I’m eager to contribute to innovative projects and make a positive impact in the industry. #UCD #BiotechnologyAndBusiness #MScGraduate #ClinicalTrials #RegulatoryAffairs #BusinessAnalysis #ProjectManagement #QualityAssurance #Validation #CSV #21CFRPart11 #Biotechnology #LifeSciences #OpenForOpportunities #JobSeeker
