Abstract:
Pharamaceutical companies are major employers of graduate and
post-graduate statisticians. This talk will cover experiences from
Mary's first two years as a post-graduate statistician working in
phase II-IV clinical trials at SmithKline Beecham. As well as
describing the transition from research to industry, it will give an
overview of the role of statisticians in a large pharmaceutical
company, and will highlight how statistics are involved in the drug
development process from discovery through to market and
beyond.
