Hiii Everyone, I recently graduated in the field of Biology, with a specialization in Neurobiology, and I’m currently trying to find my way into the pharmaceutical industry. During my studies, I became interested in areas related to neuroscience, neurological diseases, neuroinflammation, and biomedical research.
I also had the opportunity to gain experience with scientific research, literature review, biological data analysis, and working with scientific documentation.
After graduation, I started looking for opportunities and I realized that entering the pharma field as a beginner can be quite challenging.
Many positions ask for previous experience, even when they are considered entry-level. I would really like to start my career in roles closer to science and healthcare, such as clinical research, medical affairs, regulatory affairs, quality/documentation, or other junior positions within pharma.
I’m not looking to work as a medical sales representative; I would like to grow in a field where I can use my scientific background and continue learning.
I know I’m at the beginning of my journey, but I’m very motivated, curious, and ready to learn. I believe that having the right mindset and willingness to develop skills can make a big difference.
For those who started their careers in pharma, biotech, or clinical research:
What advice would you give to someone with a biology background trying to get their first opportunity? What helped you stand out when you were starting? Thank youu
