Drug Discovery
Drug discovery is essential to the health and wellbeing of societies everywhere. A core aspect of the medical, pharmaceutical, biopharma, biotech and biochemistry industries, the process of discovering new drugs to meet the unmet medical needs of society is highly complex.
The extensive multidisciplinary approach required to discover new drugs means that a great deal of specialised personnel is needed over the course of any given project.
Not only is the top talent needed to get the job done in the first place, but it’s crucial in reducing lead times, minimising costs and remaining competitive in an industry that evolves in what seems like the blink of an eye.
Drug discovery professionals can be found in a range of different environments, operating on a wide array of projects at any given time. Whether that’s an academic institution, a biotech startup, or any number of life science businesses, the role of a drug discovery expert is no longer confined to the largest organisations.
There are many disciplines within the drug discovery umbrella too, from molecular biology to computational chemistry – this can make finding the right specialist tricky, as it’s a competitive landscape.
Plus, as technology continues its rapid advance, the jobs of tomorrow aren’t necessarily observable today. AI and machine learning looks set to change the drug discovery landscape forever, so hiring with a future-facing approach to sustainable business practices is undoubtedly the best way to go.
