DCU Micro-credentials’ Post

Greetings LinkedIn Family! I am Kiran Kumari Mandhan, currently a 7th semester student of BS(Software Engineering) at DHA SUFFA University. This semester, I am enrolled in the Data Science Course and our teacher Zahid Hussain has assigned us a semester project so that we learn the different algorithms and deployment platforms used in the ML Industry. However, we need some guidance from industrial experts who can provide us with the domain knowledge and access to relevant datasets that can be utilized for our project "Pharmaceutical Medicinal Plants". If you have experience in this area or know someone who does, please reach out and collaborate with us in this fascinating field. #DataScience #MachineLearning #DataEngineering #Pharmaceutical #MedicinalPlants #Collaboration #StudentProject #Healthcareinnovation

How to build a career in Medicinal Chemistry

It's great to see that newly graduates are using professional platforms and are eager to know the paths they can follow after the studies. I am getting tons of messages about the biotechnology post-Masters path. We've all been there! After completing Masters if you realize that wet labs aren't your immediate destination, don't worry biotech expertise opens doors far and wide. Biotechnology is not all about pipettes and petri dishes, here are some alternative fields where your knowledge thrives: 1. Regulatory Affairs: Shape the future of healthcare by navigating the regulatory landscape. 2. Data Analysis in Healthcare: Dive into the world of big data to extract meaningful insights for better healthcare outcomes. 3. Biotech Sales and Marketing: Bridge the gap between science and business, promoting cutting-edge solutions. 4. Science Communication: Share your passion by translating complex concepts for diverse audiences. 5. Intellectual Property (IP) Management: Safeguard innovation through legal and strategic expertise. 6. Biotech Consulting and Market Research: Offer strategic advice to companies, leveraging your deep understanding of the industry. 7. Environmental Biotechnology: Tackle global challenges by applying biotech solutions to environmental issues. 8. Bioinformatics: Harness the power of technology to analyze biological data, driving discoveries in genomics and personalized medicine. As we navigate these uncharted territories, let's encourage one another to embrace the spirit of exploration. Connect, learn, and redefine what it means to be a biotech professional in a world that craves the transformative power of science. Together, let's amplify our impact and inspire the next generation of trailblazers in the ever-evolving biotech landscape. #BiotechAdventures #BeyondBoundaries #InnovationUnleashed

Absolutely! Beyond traditional labs, the biotech landscape offers diverse paths post-Masters. Consider exploring fields like Quality Assurance, where you ensure products meet high standards, or Clinical Research for hands-on involvement in medical advancements. Additionally, venture into Health Policy to influence healthcare regulations. Also being from a bioinformatics domain, we also need good minds in Data analytics and machine learning. I feel every biotech student should emphasise on learning tools that will make their profile stronger and help thinking beyond ‘Pipettes and Petri Dishes’.

New Blog Post: Changing Models for Training Industrial Chemists Written By Dr Ben Littler Derek Lowe’s ‘In The Pipeline’ blog titled ‘The Current Industry Landscape’ on 27 Nov 2023 alerted me to an excellent overview editorial in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry by Dean G. Brown on ‘Adapting to the Changing Landscape of Biotech-Driven Drug Discovery’ (DOI: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.3c02035). One thing that struck me as I read both the blog and the editorial was that if I simply replaced terms such as ‘medicinal chemistry’ in my mind with ‘process chemistry’ then this too presented an excellent review of the history of how industrial development chemistry had evolved over my career, and how the new paradigm of smaller biotech companies has transformed career development paths and training models.  The editorial’s main proposition is that as an industry we are still assuming that training is still taking place across the industry by internal on-the-job training and mentoring of younger chemists by more experienced chemists working side-by-side with them. However, this approach is unlikely to work in the current biotech era where the more experienced chemists are simply not around for a variety of reasons; including the fact that, by definition, small biotech companies have reduced internal laboratory sizes and staff or may even completely outsource all chemistry efforts. I think this problem is even more severe for the training of process chemists than medicinal chemists because process chemistry facilities, such as kilo labs and pilot plants, are only needed after a successful medicinal chemistry program, and they are more expensive to build and maintain. This results in a greater proportion of process chemistry being outsourced, and further magnifies the effect that there is less capability to train early career process chemists internally.  An academic education will provide a medicinal chemist with experience working on the scale that they will encounter in an industrial chemistry laboratory, but it is extremely unlikely that an early career process chemist would have spent any during their academic career working on any scale larger than a few grams, let alone in a kilo lab or pilot plant! ...

Here's one of the hardest lessons for my academic colleagues wanting to break into the biotech industry... A paper. Is. Not. A. Result. A grant. Is. Not. A. Result. I know. It hurts to read it. The thing that all of your colleagues and university admin have said is the only thing that matters...it's not really a result. Does that make your academic work irrelevant? Absolutely not. What it does mean, is that you need to change what you're focusing on when communicating your value. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 -method you developed -intellectual property -infrastructure you built -device prototypes you invented -biological mechanisms you determined -operational improvements If you read the above and don't know what I'm talking about, it's ok. I can teach you how to translate your academic mindset into the above. You are valuable. you just need to learn to communicate in a way that people in the business world can understand.
