From Molecule to Market: An Educational Panel Series About Careers in the Drug Development Pathway

Event description
Amgen, the Association for Women in Science and the Healthcare Businesswomen's Association are proud to present "From Molecule to Market: An Educational Panel Series About Careers in the Drug Development Pathway." This three-part panel series will feature industry experts sharing career advice from various stages of the pharmaceutical development process, from early discovery and process development to clinical research, regulatory and marketing. The goal of each panel is to provide our audience with an understanding of the drug development process, the roles and responsibilities of the functions involved and offer advice from industry experts on what it takes to be successful in these roles. We hope this event will help early and mid-career women to expand their horizons, make informed career decisions and be inspired to achieve the next level professionally. The event will include a moderated panel discussion followed by an interactive Q&A with the audience.

The panel series concludes on November 10 at Amgen with a focus on the later stages of drug development process from filing to launch to marketed products.
