Re: USS JOHNSTON #146998
So the way these guys end up in these positions (Head of Clinical Development/R&D is that they were usually experts in their field in this case HIV or infectious diseases and they usually have a lot of experience running clinical trials. They work in big practices that usually are affiliated with hospital systems and they work their way up in those practices to being one of the go to people for a given disease state - An expert.
They are building their résumé and writing papers and running clinical trials and going to conferences. They are gaining the respect from other experts in the field, and the cream rises to the top. Pharmaceutical companies are well aware of who the top dogs are and meet with them on a regular basis for things like advisory board meetings or at conferences or other meetings.
All of the competing pharmaceutical companies in That given disease state know who these doctors are and they’re all competing for their time and opinions and many of them will try and bring them over as an advisor for the pharmaceutical company. Sometimes that then leads to a permanent position within the company where they might head research and development for a given disease state like HIV.
But they if perform well within the pharmaceutical company then They move up the chain and begin to understand the other disease states that that company might be looking at. So if they have cancer division, they might be working on projects with the cancer division. Same with drugs that work in nephrology or Neurology, etc.
They talk in the halls and they talk in meetings and they get to know one another’s disease states and the drugs that are important for it, and as they progress in their career, they move their way up to head other departments within the company, and eventually they may become the head of all clinical programs and research and development. Some will get an advance business degree like Dr. LA did which helps.
So just because he specialized in infectious diseases and HIV doesn’t mean he hasn’t had exposure to all of the other disease states in those companies he worked for. If you reach that level, you have a broad understanding of pharmaceuticals and a broad understanding of different disease states. To earn that title, he has Put in the work and shown he can do the job And we are now fortunate to have him “consulting” us.
Hope that helps
