Industrial pharmacist vs doctoral fellow

Differences between industrial pharmacist and doctoral fellow duties and responsibilities

Industrial pharmacist example responsibilities.

• Manage sample inventory via in-house laboratory information management system (LIMS) and implement additional systems for sample and chemical organization.
• Perform laboratory qualification of reference standards, including control substances according to GMP requirements.
• Perform research under ISO9001 certification, and produce marketing literature within FDA regulatory guidelines.
• Design experiments and statistically analyze data to comply with FDA requirements for stability, specificity, and accuracy.
• Key activities include process chemistry development, synthesis of intermediates, compound purification and structure identification, and comprehensive scientific documentation.
• Perform statistical analyses of on/off-line manufacturing data to investigate failures of release parameters (harvest OD).

Doctoral fellow example responsibilities.

• Lead the in-vitro biophysical and biochemical characterization of homologous recombination and investigate structure-function effects of mutant enzymes.
• Attend courses in drug discovery, python programming, and next-generation sequencing analyses.
• Coordinate the validation of data aquisition algorithms (C++, python) for all real and simulate data.
• Conduct custom synthesis of organic molecules, key intermediates and building blocks for medicinal chemistry applications.
• Design PCL/PLCL drug delivery system for DC immunotherapy.
• Succeed in using CRISPR to genetically correct diseas iPSCs.
