00:00 – Introduction to Pharma vs. Biopharma
Definition: Pharma uses chemical mixtures; Biopharma uses biologics (living organisms).
Example: Vaccines contain dead/inactive viruses to trigger antibody production.
01:12 – Career Paths Overview
Pharma: Focus on chemicals, organic chemistry.
Biopharma: Focus on genes, gene editing, biologics.
01:35 – Research & Development (R&D) Roles
Wet Lab: Hands-on research with cells/organisms.
Dry Lab: Computational/AI-based research (Python, simulations).
Job Roles: Research Scientist, Molecular Biologist, Bioinformatics.
02:39 – Production & Manufacturing
Scaling lab discoveries for mass production.
Key Roles: Bioprocessing Engineer, Manufacturing Technician.
Upstream: Growing bacteria/cells.
Downstream: Purification/waste removal.
03:33 – Quality Control (QC) & Assurance (QA)
Ensures compliance with industry regulations.
Job Roles: QC Analyst, QA Officer, Microbiologist.
04:28 – Regulatory Affairs
Country-specific drug approval rules (e.g., EU vs. India).
Job Roles: Regulatory Affairs Associate, Complaints Manager.
05:28 – Packaging, Labeling & Distribution
Specialized handling (temperature/pH control).
Job Roles: Packaging Supervisor, Validation Engineer.
06:21 – Closing & Channel Purpose
Promotes biology education “from cell to civilization.”
Encourages subscriptions for foundational knowledge.
