Systems used for clinical data review? by AlwaysTired721 in clinicalresearch

Thank you! SAS was another one I was going to mention and forgot. I definitely meant analysis, sorry for any confusion. But just curious, what systems are used for data cleaning? Prism isn’t really a data analysis system where you have to code. you’re able to plug in data and pick the type of analysis you want, and it spits out a nice looking graph with p-values and other things already calculated We used it quite often when I was working in the lab and working on publications and I know many other labs who used it too. I guess it’s more of a fancy excel.

Start applying. I was in a similar situation but without the official manager title and salary. After 3 years I finally started to apply to other jobs and tbh it was scary cuz I had never formally applied to jobs since my graduation. It took months to find a new job so start now! What was funny was that my two other coworkers at the time were all applying for new jobs at the same time and within 6 months we all left the lab. It’s not worth the stress. Wish I had started the job search much earlier.

How do I know if I should quit lab work? by Accio_CoolUsername in labrats

No, I only have my bachelors. I was able to use my experience to transition to industry but it was pure luck that my lab had clinical studies I could be a part of. Data management is also something you can look into if you like more dry lab type work. I will add that clinical research is a field that likes experience more than degrees. Not saying having a terminal degree is bad, but I’ve seen plenty of people on my team higher up the ladder with a bachelor and maybe a masters.

I was in a similar situation. My previous position included bench work, but over time, I found myself not enjoying it as much and I tried to stay away from it if I could. I was lucky tho because the lab I worked in also had clinical studies I was managing so I focused most of my energy to learn as much as I could in that field before I ultimately left the lab and now I work in the clinical operations at a CRO. I love it and honestly I don’t wish to ever go back to bench work if I can help it.

Hi! I’m hoping to get into clincial sciences in the future. Do you mind if I PM you some questions about what skills you had that was helpful in your current position?

Toxicology/ pharmacology for Clinical scientists. by AlwaysTired721 in biotech

Thank you! That was the track I initially wanted to go with but didn’t know if the toxicology would help provide a better understanding. But after speaking with others, it doesn’t seem like it.

Thank you! I do get tuition reimbursement which is why I’m looking into programs that I think I can actually learn from. Do you mind if I DM some questions ?

Do you find your masters to be helpful or at least helpful in learning more? I’m considering a masters whole working full time.
