Overview
Working on an independent research question assigned by the team. Learning about regulatory affairs through discussions with line manager plus reading TOPRA articles. The project involves data collection from the EMA and FDA websites and collaboration, then giving presentations to the team and wider groups within the organisation. Writing up the project is then a multi-step process with input from other colleagues. There is the opportunity to have your work published.
Skills
Yes, I have gained professional skills such as presenting, time management, critical thinking and networking. In addition, I have gained a lot of knowledge about the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory affairs and oncology.
Responsibilities
Yes, in terms of the project I was given full responsibility. I could choose how to go about the analysis, although I did have support when deciding how to go about the data collection stage.
Support & Guidance
A lot from my line manager who was incredibly supportive. The rest of the team were too, but because of the virtual environment I didn't get to meet with them perhaps as often as I would have done in the office. The placement coordinators were incredibly supportive, and gave us many presentations throughout the year to aid our development.
Culture
Very friendly and inclusive. There are many employee resource groups (ERGs) you can join which also foster an inclusive mindset and hope to bring positive change to the organisation.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed the year. I found the project fascinating and enjoyed having the responsibility. However, due to covid, I didn't get to meet my team in person which was a shame.
Yes
Read the credo, look at the J&J therapy areas and our key pipeline products.
