30 min - Unlocking Non-Laboratory Career Opportunities in PharmaThe pharmaceutical industry is often associated with laboratory-based roles, where scientists conduct experiments and develop new drugs. However, the sector also offers numerous non-laboratory career opportunities crucial to its success. These roles, which range from regulatory affairs to marketing, ensure that pharmaceutical innovations are safe, accessible, and commercially viable. One prominent non-laboratory career path is Patent examiner, who plays a vital role in the innovation ecosystem by evaluating patent applications to ensure that new inventions are novel and non-obvious. Another career path is Regulatory affairs. Regulatory affairs professionals ensure that new drugs comply with global health regulations and standards. They work closely with regulatory bodies such as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and EMA (European Medicines Agency), preparing the necessary documentation and data to support drug approval. In this week’s episode, we dive deep into the inspiring journey of two experts from the careers as mentioned earlier: Dr Yi Ling Low - Patent examiner at IP Australia, and Savitha Balakrishna - Regulatory Affairs Associate at Swisse Wellness. Tune in to learn more about this insightful and inspiring conversation on the non-laboratory careers in pharma, which offers a broad range of opportunities for those interested in contributing to the healthcare field without working in a research lab. These roles ensure the smooth functioning of the industry and provide diverse, impactful career paths for individuals passionate about healthcare, science, and business.Visit our website to find all the platforms we're on!https://doseofpharma.wordpress.com/Riviera by Smith The Mister https://smiththemister.bandcamp.comSmith The Mister https://bit.ly/Smith-The-Mister-YTFree Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/al-rivieraMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/qonPqql2sP048 min
