Research and development teams are the life blood of the life sciences industry. Pharmaceutical companies rely on the discovery and development of new medical devices, drugs and products to survive.

The truth is, you wouldn’t know about medical research and new developments and drugs joining the pharmaceutical market if it wasn’t for medical communications professionals.

In the US medical professionals are responsible for ensuring the public safety when it comes to the usage of healthcare products and drugs, this has been the case for over 170 years. Despite this more than 50% of medicines which are prescribed, dispensed or sold are done so incorrectly and 50% of patients fail to take their medication appropriately, according to a report in 2018 by the World Health Organization. This huge figure emphasises the necessity of pharmacovigilance professionals who are highly skilled in their jobs and have the ability to make positive changes to the industry. Doctors are largely expected to take part in the pharmacovigilance system to report misuses or adverse-events caused by drugs, however, due to many reasons, particularly an oversubscribed medical system in the US means that only 5% of doctors are estimated to participate. EPM Scientific are working alongside many pharmaceutical corporations in the US in cities from the west to east coast including: New York, Chicago, Boston, Charlotte, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

62% of US companies are utilizing biometric authentication technology as reporting by Spiceworks, and a further 24% plan to begin using it within two years. Biometrics is the use of physical or behavioural human characteristics which define a person as an individual.

To progress far in a medical engineering career, you must be flexible and bold in your work ethic. The job relies on professionals who are thick skinned and prepared to face set backs which may cause regular disruptions to their work. Increases in technology have changed the medical engineering sector massively in the last decade and the competition between pharmaceutical companies has also increased drastically.

The life sciences industry would not progress forward without research and development (R&D), it is the what life sciences companies rely on to make profits and ultimately survive. Multinational drug companies spend on average 17% of their revenues on R&D, as reported by Fortune, this is a large investment of money which must be used efficiently to be effective and retain a substantial cash flow.

This provides an exciting field of opportunity for those who are looking to advance their careers in R&D as the competitive industry is searching for talented professionals who can take on roles without fear of disruption and change.
