預防醫學生可否進入葯企從事研究工作？

01-04

預防醫學大一學生，當初陰差陽錯來到預醫，一直在考慮自己未來該何去何從。CDC等國家單位我想不太適合我這個沒錢沒勢沒背景的窮學生，但是我想如果能夠投身於研究事業中也是個很好的選擇，報酬也比較可觀。在這裡請教各位精英們，進入外國葯企從事藥物研究（比如疫苗等等）有哪些要求？比如說實驗室經歷、專業知識、學歷要求等等，希望各位能給出一個中肯的回答，給我指引一個前進的方向，謝謝了。

感覺上面的回答有點誤導小同學了^^

上面兩名同學說的毒理學，的確是加入跨國藥物企業的重要途徑，尤其是毒理學專業，和很多企業比如輝瑞，的確有合作計劃。但毒理學每年畢業生人數有限，這不是預防專業同學在葯企研發部門工作的主流。

但是，據我所知，在葯企從事真正藥物研發的，還是基礎醫學院藥學方向和藥學院的博士生，公共衛生專業，往往不是從實驗室方向參與到藥物研發的過程中。

有兩條主線，一是在葯企做衛生經濟學和衛生政策研究，主要是藥物註冊和藥物上市等方向。這個方向了解不多，如果希望從這方面參與藥物的研發，可以攻讀相關方向的博士學位。

二是，在葯企做臨床研究。在這個方向的職位包括，數據管理員（DM），SAS程序員（SAS programmer），生物統計師（Biostatistician）和流行病學家（Epidemiologist），對教育背景的要求依次遞增。DM就不談了，預防的本科畢業就行，離題主所說的研發可能有點遠。

這個某個跨國葯企對sas programmer描述和要求的節選

Primary Responsibilities
1. Provide data delivery specifications and annotated data collection form to data management group based on Roche biometrics standard data model structure
2. Develop SAS programs to generate analysis outputs as specified in the statistical analysis plan and mock up table shells
Qualification and Experience:
1. Be able to use Statistical Analysis Software (SAS).
2. Education: BS or MS in Medical, Public Health, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related areas

下面，是同一家企業對生物統計師的描述和要求

Job Summary
The Biostatistician provides high quality statistical support to assigned
Clinical Development studies. This includes protocol contributions, case
report form definition, and scheduling of analyses. Responsibilities range
between conducting analyses to providing objective interpretation of
results and defense of statistical decisions to clinical team. In addition，
he ensures that the objectives, standards, deadlines and other
requirements set by line management are attained.

Requirements
- Relevant working experience: 1-3 years in Biostatistician and Clinical
Trials.
- Education: MSc (or equivalent) or PhD in Statistics or very similar area.
- Requirements on specific subject(s): knowledge and experience in the use
of statistical software, (e.g., SAS) as well as knowledge if databases and
interface systems;

再下面是MSD對流行病學家的描述和要求

The Epidemiology Department resides within BARDS (Biostatistics and Research Decisions Sciences), as a part of Clinical Development within Merck Research Laboratories. Its research areas include epidemiology of disease, pharmacoepidemiology (drug and vaccine safety, effectiveness and utilization) and patient reported outcomes.

The research conducted involves carrying out studies and activities, often in collaboration with outside investigators, to support epidemiologic needs applicable to all Merck products. The department also conducts research using numerous in-house and publicly available databases.
Major Activities and Responsibilities ? Performs literature review in responses to requests from MSD China and Epidemiology Department located in MSD headquarters.
Background Requirements:
Doctoral degree in Epidemiology or closely related discipline, or a Master degree in Epidemiology, or a closely related discipline, with equivalent experience (ability to conduct independent analysis of existing datasets, together with at least three years of research experience).
? Understanding of fundamental principles of biostatistics, epidemiology, human biology, and basic medical sciences.
? Knowledge of health care systems and medical literature databases in China.
? Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to communicate effectively. Fluency in both Chinese and English, verbal and written, is essential.
? Good project management skills. Ability to engage key stakeholders in BARDS, clinical, regulatory, and health outcomes groups locally and internationally.

可以看出來，如果題主打算進葯企的研發部門，點流行病學/生物統計的技能樹的機會更多，而不是在公共衛生學院的實驗室方向，否則你會發現，畢業之後還是得去疾控啊。

當然，如果題主指的是真正的在實驗室做藥物研發，而不是上述這些內容。那麼，題主還是放棄公共衛生這個方向吧，畢業出國申請生物藥學或者藥物化學方向的PH.D.吧。（專業名稱可能有誤，歡迎拍磚糾正）。

一大早在辦公室答題真是作死的節奏……………………

本科畢業之後碩士博士來做毒理（找一個和安全性評價相關的導師，別找環境毒理學的老師啊~），畢業以後做安全性評價，博士工作一年碩士工作三年後拿到毒理學家的資格，去葯企還是不難的，薪水也是很高的。

有關毒理學家的資質信息：中國毒理學會

難的是拿到毒理學家資格之前的一系列選擇：讀博，技術磨練等等。

lz才大一，還需要更多的看和思考再做決定吧。

答案是可以，但還是要扎紮實實的完成預防醫學的課程。如果已經決定從事科研，儘早的進入實驗室，從大一刷瓶子殺老鼠開始，系統全面的掌握生物學實驗技術，直到自己完成一項課題，學生課題不會很難，重點鍛煉科研思維。藥學，毒理，營養，基礎等實驗類的學科都是相通的，本科階段不要太糾結，有合適的實驗室就加入，堅持半年以上總會有收穫。如果是985院校，比如中山，華西，湘雅，安心學習，好好學習，是最簡單省心的方式，拿到推免資格，進入一個心儀的平台很容易的。現在確實沒必要想太多，不妨在對各個學科有一定認識後再做根據興趣選擇。

預防醫學到葯企做CRA，專業對口，發展前景，收入水平都不錯。
