From Academia to Industry® is an educational program that provides in-depth information about careers in industry to Hematology and Oncology Fellows at top-tier academic institutions by bringing them into direct contact with MD clinical development leaders from top oncology companies.
The program also facilitates the hiring of top entry level talent; these young MD clinicians and researchers are the leaders of the future and provide all important “bench strength” and back fill important positions. The program has the ancillary benefit of nurturing long term relationships with premiere universities, which often lead to scientific collaborations, such as clinical trial partnerships that fall outside of scientific linkages already in place.
