Medical Information
Medical information specialists are responsible for a broad range of activities in the life sciences, primarily concerned with an expansive amount of data. Be it product or patient data, process changes, documentation and even PR, medical information specialists tend to serve as the interface between the patients, the clients, the public and the organisation. While medical information jobs are often unique, tailor-made to fit the specific needs and services of the organisation, many people who take on this area of responsibility enter the life sciences with a background in nursing or pharmacy.
Medical information professionals need to possess a comprehensive knowledge of their company’s products and service, while possessing incredible client-facing skillsets. They’re often the first point of contact between the client (or patient) and the company, so recognising their immense value in terms of both brand protection and process evaluation is critical.
These roles are not always customer-facing however, they can also be internal roles that support the various departments and teams operating within the organisation. The role is a superb way to enter the pharmaceutical field without necessarily needing a degree in a science-related subject, making it a great place to kick off a career for driven individuals who want to make a transition.
The role plays a huge part in developing the sales and marketing function of a life sciences company. Placing the right sales or marketing person into a company with a product which can help patients, directly impacts how quickly that product reaches a patient. Commercial employees facilitate breakthrough new technologies reaching the right KOLs, helping to save lives.

Life Sciences in Berlin
Beautiful Berlin is Europe’s cultural jewel. It’s home to a myriad of astonishing sights, galleries, museums, profoundly thought-provoking memorials, the Reichstag, week-long parties, and a booming life sciences scene. Berlin is a truly unique city – it emanates creativity, not only in the life sciences space, but in the arts too, representing a beautiful, inimitable synergy, as seen regularly in the world-renowned Art Laboratory Berlin.
Berlin is one of the world’s leading life science clusters, boasting a huge number of highly advanced educational institutes, robust biotech, pharmacutical and medtech ecosystems. These are the systems that support over 500 companies in the life sciences space. The world-famous HealthCapital was founded back in 1996, and since then, the cluster has become a launching pad for countless life sciences startups, representing boundless opportunity for progression within the sector.
According to Refire Online, Berlin’s life science real estate transaction value alone was worth 634 million euros between 2017 and 2021. Moreover, there’s a thriving medtech presence that’s home to many of the world’s most impactful biotech and medtech companies, including Klara and Amboss.
With over 70 independent research institutes, hundreds of top-ranked research initiatives, and plenty of international science conferences, Germany’s capital acts as hotspot for discovery and innovation in what is undoubtably one of the most impactful fields of modern research.
The past few years have been incredibly testing for organisations everywhere. The pandemic shone a spotlight in on the life sciences, (particularly healthcare science) unveiling their critical importance to a much wider audience. Berlin’s life sciences industry proved to be robust, ultimately helping produce one of the major vaccines at a time of unprecedented turmoil. If you’re hoping to get ahead in Berlin’s life sciences industry, now is the perfect time to start building the teams of the future.
