There's no such thing as a Ph.D. in drug discovery, and few have "drug hunting" in a job description. Who and what are drug hunters, and what do they do? What distinguishes drug hunters from medicinal chemists, antibody engineers, or pharmacologists? Why are drug hunters so important? In this talk we'll explore the role of the "drug hunter" as the product and project champion of the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, and how scientists can play this role effectively.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will understand what project championship means in drug discovery, and why this is important.
Upon completion, participants will understand who can and should be a project champion in the pharmaceutical industry.
Upon completion, participants will understand why project championship is critically important to the success of any venture.
