For drug discovery to continue making breakthroughs in medicine and healthcare, we\u2019ve got to keep attracting the best young scientific talent.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve been running medicinal chemistry workshops for outstanding PhD students and postdocs that give them a taste of what a career in the industry looks like \u2013 and help them decide where their futures lie.<\/p>\n

To date, we\u2019ve held three sessions across both our Nottingham and Alderley Park sites, welcoming 73 budding final-year synthetic organic and medicinal chemists for a day of presentations, seminars and interactive activities.<\/p>\n

Attendees had the chance to get together in small groups to share their scientific areas of interest and also speak to experts from across our different departments at a dinner.<\/p>\n

Topics included everything from what a day in the life of a scientist working in an integrated drug discovery project looks like to what makes a good drug and the role of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) in developing new medicines.<\/p>\n

Looking to the future<\/h4>\n

Mihiro Sunose, Associate Director at Sygnature Discovery, has helped organise and deliver the workshops \u2013 and believes they are essential not only for participants, but also for our business.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrug discovery is a competitive industry, and that competition plays a big part in driving innovation forward to make much-needed breakthroughs,\u201d Mihiro said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been really exciting to meet so many passionate, intelligent people who are so enthusiastic to begin their scientific careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur aim is to inspire this next generation and invest in their futures, because doing so is also an investment in our company and the wider field of drug discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A route into industry<\/h4>\n

In fact, the workshops have already proven beneficial to those who have attended past events; no fewer than 11 participants from our first workshop in April 2019 have since gained employment at Sygnature Discovery, while others have also had the opportunity to interview with us.<\/p>\n

Mihiro added: \u201cGetting an insight into the real-world, day-to-day life of a drug discovery scientist is really valuable for those who are keen to take the next step after their PhD or postdoc but haven\u2019t yet worked in the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe workshops represent a significant investment on our part \u2013 they require plenty of planning, time and contributions from our specialists in multiple disciplines \u2013 but it\u2019s a vitally important one.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to encourage as many bright young minds as possible to consider a career in drug discovery, as it\u2019s only with their involvement that the projects of the future will enjoy the best possible chance of success.\u201d<\/p>\n
