Event Description

Good laboratory practice (GLP) and Good manufacturing practice (GMP) are a set of principles intended to assure the quality and integrity of non-clinical laboratory studies to support research or marketing permits for products regulated by government agencies. The terms GLP and GMP are most commonly associated with the pharmaceutical industry but also applies to agents such as food products and medical devices. David Cragin of Teva Pharmaceuticals and Don Stump of Charles River will give an overview of these topics so that when are interviewing with a company, you can tell them that you are familiar with GLP and GMP.

Event Description

This is a two and a half day in-person only workshop. You only need to register once, however, all sessions are required.

SciPhD is run by Human Workflows, LLC (http://sciphd.com/) and helps trainees assess their current skill set, express it in business-friendly language as well as recognize/fill skill gaps in areas such as communication, leadership, team building, negotiation and project management. This workshop focuses on 24 essential core competencies valued by industry and business, relates those competencies to activities and behaviors commonly experienced by academic scientists through the scientific method, and demonstrates how those competencies work together to form the operational competencies that are essential in business.  These transition business competencies can also be applied by academic and government scientists in running their laboratories.  SciPhD is a very interactive and hands-on exposure to these concepts with real action items to take away from the workshop.  Throughout the program, students and postdocs will experience at least four behavioral-based interview experiences in which they will play the role of the candidate and the interviewer.

Topics include:

The Business of Science
Successful Communications as a Scientist
Six Leadership Styles
Developing Your People
Negotiation and Finance
Building Effective Teams
Strategic Project Management for Scientists
Applying What You've Learned

Dates and Times – ALL OF THE SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED

January 14 (12 PM – 5 PM)

January 15 (9 AM -5 PM)

Event Description

Precision medicine is a tailored healthcare approach that customizes treatments and prevention strategies based on an individual's unique genetic makeup, environment, and lifestyle. By integrating vast amounts of data from various sources like genomics, big data, and AI, it aims to move beyond a one-size-fits-all model to offer more precise diagnoses, effective treatments, and proactive disease prevention. Come hear from Rutgers alum Saurabh Laddha, PhD, to learn how he transitioned from graduate school to working at Johnson & Johnson as a Principal Computational Scientist. He will advise current trainees how to prepare for careers in the field of precision medicine.
