A portrait of biopharma’s new leaders: a BioCentury Back to School podcast

Digital fluency, the imperative to have an impact on society and an eagerness to make change now, not in future decades, mark the future leaders of the industry, says BioCentury Editor in Chief Simone Fishburn. On the fifth and concluding BioCentury This Week podcast accompanying Back to School 2022, Fishburn and BioCentury’s editorial team discuss the defining traits of industry’s incoming generation of leaders and the evolving skills required for the future of biotech. 

Washington Editor Steve Usdin gives a case study of how FDA’s Richard Pazdur works to advance the careers of his Oncology Center of Excellence staff, including creating numerous projects that provide a platform for demonstrating leadership as well as recognition by external peers. And Executive Editor Selina Koch delivers top takeaways from BioCentury’s Talent Survey of more than 600 industry representatives.

A Letter from Editor in Chief C. Simone Fishburn presents an overview of this year’s Back to School. For information on how to sponsor The BioCentury Show and the BioCentury This Week podcast, please contact Sarah Shoaff at sarah.shoaff@biocentury.com.
