Pharmacology in Action: Navigating Industry Career Pathways

Early Career Professionals are invited to join us for this special symposium before our Presidents Lecture. This dedicated event is designed to support and connect pharmacologists at the start of their careers, especially those wanting to learn more about routes into Industry.

The symposium leads directly into the Presidents Lecture, allowing ECPs to hear from our keynote speaker, and engage with established members of our BPS community.

This is an invaluable opportunity for attendees to gain practical advice, broaden their professional horizons, and foster meaningful connections that could shape their future in pharmacology. Whether you are curious about transitioning to industry roles or seeking inspiration from those who have navigated these pathways, this event promises an enriching experience tailored for the next generation of pharmacological innovators.
