Veranstaltungsdaten

Event language: English

Access to positions in pharmaceutical industry represents a difficult goal for life science graduates especially without working experience. This workshop will give insights into daily business of positions in pharma industry achievable for life scientists, illustrating all departments within pharmaceutical companies including their tasks and duties. What are their daily challenges, what can be beneficial for job preparation? Important keywords will be addressed such as GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), Pharma Risk Management, Process Validation and Quality Control. You will learn how to get from idea to market for pharmaceuticals and how you could contribute to this launch within different positions. We start at developing a new drug and its formulation, followed by its registration by regulatory affairs, over GMP compliant production and testing until the drug reaches the patient considering safe storage and transport. We will see how big pharmaceutical companies manage all these international requirements and will also recognize which mistakes have been done in the past.

In an interactive part you will actively elaborate a concept for a GMP compliant drug within a fictional company, which will be audited by other participants in a simulated FDA inspection.

The workshop will effectively prepare you for jobs in pharmaceutical industry focusing on quality management.
