DESCRIPTION:Communication skills are fundamental to a researcher's day-to-
 day work.\n\nThis panel session features speakers who have built on these 
 skills to go into healthcare and medical communications\, careers that aim
  to raise awareness of therapies and medical devices that could transform 
 and even save people’s lives.\n\nJoin us to hear about their career jour
 neys\, and get an opportunity to ask questions.\n\nOur panellists include:
 \n\n*Dr Aimee Jones\, Communications Team Leader\, Oxford PharmaGenesis*: 
 As a team leader at Oxford PharmaGenesis\, I work closely with pharma clie
 nts to deliver high-quality scientific materials. Over the past 8 years I
 ’ve worked across multiple therapy areas and have been involved in provi
 ding strategic pre- and post-launch publication planning\, delivery of key
  publications\, and planning and delivery of meetings\, workshops and even
 ts. I did my undergraduate degree in Genetics\, followed by an MRes in Cli
 nical Genetics\, both at the University of Manchester. I then worked as a 
 Research Assistant in a Clinical Genetics lab at Oxford University\, where
  I did my DPhil. Rather than continue as a post doc\, I decided to leave a
 cademia and start a career as a Medical Writer.\n \n\n*Dr Sam Ridgeway\, M
 edical Writer\, Caudex– an IPG Health company*: As a Medical Writer at C
 audex\, I work with pharmaceutical industry partners to produce print and 
 digital documents for a range of audiences\, including doctors\, nurses an
 d patients. I did a BSc in Psychology at the University of York\, an MRes 
 in Neuroscience at Newcastle University\, and a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscie
 nce at Cardiff University. My PhD focused on the neural architecture suppo
 rting mental time travel.\n\n\n*Dr Beatrice Tyrrell\, Principal Medical Wr
 iter\, Aspire Scientific*: As a Principal Medical Writer at Aspire Scienti
 fic\, I am part of a team committed to delivering high-quality medical wri
 ting services for our pharmaceutical and biotech clients\, ranging from su
 pporting our clients with scientific strategy\, to developing training mat
 erials and pivotal clinical trial publications. I completed an MA in Natur
 al Sciences at the University of Cambridge\, specialising in Pathology\, a
 nd a DPhil in Infection\, Immunology\, and Translational Medicine at the U
 niversity of Oxford\, investigating the antiviral and immunomodulatory eff
 ects of iminosugar compounds\, particularly in dengue virus infection. Dur
 ing my DPhil\, I gained science communication experience outside the lab\,
  including as Features Section Editor for Phenotype and Founder of Oxford 
 Hands-On Science. As I neared the end of my DPhil\, I was drawn to a caree
 r in medical communications (MedComms). Taking part in Aspire Scientific
 ’s Aspirations scheme allowed me to gain paid medical writing experience
  alongside my DPhil\, and cemented my belief that MedComms would be a good
  fit for me. I joined the company as a Medical Writer in 2019\, and now he
 lp to run the Aspirations scheme. \n\n \nSpeakers:\n Various Speakers
