Industry, Government and Academic Leaders Discuss ''Building a Career in Pediatric Clinical Research''
|
|
|
|
What: Children's Hospital Boston, the Glaser Pediatric Research Network, and the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies will host a symposium titled, ''Building A Career in Pediatric Clinical Research: Views from Academia, Government and Industry.'' Addressed to junior faculty with Harvard appointments through Children's Hospital, the symposium will feature a national panel of speakers representing all the complex facets of clinical research: medical schools, drug companies, federal regulatory and funding agencies, and scientific publishers. The day will conclude with a panel discussion and question-and-answer session addressing how young faculty can make the best of using academic, government and industry resources to meet their career goals.
Who: Speakers will include:
- Philip A. Pizzo, MD, Stanford University School of Medicine
- Stephen P. Spielberg, MD, PhD, Dartmouth Medical School
- Dianne Murphy, MD, U.S. Food and Drug Administration
- Yvonne Maddox, PhD, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
- James Ware, PhD, Harvard School of Public Health
- Charles Prober, MD, Glaser Pediatric Research Network
When: Friday, July 16, 2004, 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.
Where: HIM Lecture Room (Rm. 138), Conference Center at Harvard Medical, 77 Avenue Louis Pasteur, Longwood Medical Area, Boston

Why: Pediatric clinical research is an increasingly important component of medical investigation, adding to the classic ''bench-to-bedside'' route for new drugs and treatments at which Children's Hospital has always excelled. The specialized techniques required for epidemiological studies and clinical trials, coupled with the competing demands of the university, government, and marketplace, can be daunting to a young investigator entering the field. This symposium is an attempt to provide a roadmap and offer early guidance for those who want to start and maintain a career in this challenging area.
