Nope - I won't concede this. Some alumni from my school involved in drug development:
Mike Dudley '80 (Mpex Pharmaceuticals)
Mark Schaefer '85 (GlaxoSmithKliine)
Cathy Sohn '77 (GlaxoSmithKline)
Steve Barriere '73 (Theravance)
Grace Fong '71 (Aventis)
James Nickas '80 (Genentech)
Stephen Rossi '90 (Roche)
Brad Stolshek '86 (Amgen)
Ray Townsend '77 (Elan Pharmaceuticals)
Denise Dickson '79 (Lilly)
Alvin Wong '76 (Novacea)
Those are just some names from my school - there are lots and lots of others! There are 4 levels of research of a drug - some are in Stage I - some Stage IV - some in governmental affairs or bioethics.
Drug development is complex & requires a significant interaction of all participants - PhD, MD, DDS, etc....everyone - that is the point - we all must work well together. That same concept works on the clinical side as well. One profession is no better nor worse than the other - we are interdependent & our work together helps better our patients. This personal infighting only serves to diminsh ourselves & reflect poorly on us.
And yes....I do have a husband here...he's very happy
Its only 9:30 here so we have a very long time left of our Friday night!
