Learn from Rutgers alum Silky Kamdar who worked at BMS for many years how PhD-trained biologists can use their skills to successfully transition into areas including process and validation development, assay development, scale-up, technology transfer, and manufacturing support. Attendees will gain insight into the day-to-day realities of working in a cross-functional, cGMP regulated environment, along with practical guidance for navigating the shift from academic research to industry-focused operations.
