UCB is recruiting for four pharmaceutical industry training PharmD Fellowship Programs for the 2025-2027 term in Global Regulatory Affairs (GRA), Medical Safety and Pharmacovigilance (MS&PV), Medical Affairs – Immunology (MA), and Global Clinical Sciences & Operations (GCSO). The application period will open on September 9, 2024 and close on October 25, 2024.

  • The GRA Fellowship is a two-year rotational training program based in UCB’s US headquarters at the Atlanta, GA campus. The program will provide the PharmD Fellow with extensive experience within the various subfunctions of Regulatory Affairs (including regulatory strategy, advertising and promotion, labeling, and CMC) in a cross-functional global team environment. 
  • The MS&PV Fellowship is a two-year rotational training program based in either the Atlanta or Raleigh campus. This program will provide the PharmD Fellow with experience within the subfunctions of Patient Safety (including global case management, safety risk management, safety surveillance, safety writing, and international pharmacovigilance). 
  • The MA – Immunology Fellowship is a two-year rotational training program based in UCB’s US headquarters at the Atlanta, GA campus. The program will focus on opportunities to learn, experience, and lead various activities involved within the dynamic functions of a medical affairs organization (including medical affairs strategy, medical information, medical review, medical digital strategy, field medical and operations).
  • The GCSO Fellowship is a 2-year Fellowship based in RTP, NC. From planning, to execution, to reporting of clinical trials, the Fellow will gain first-hand experience in the execution of highly rigorous clinical studies with high quality, within ambitious timelines, and ultimately providing value to our patients. The program will provide the Fellow with rotational experiences in the multidisciplinary sub-functions of GCSO including Clinical Project Management, Clinical Data & Innovation, Medical Writing, and Strategic Clinical Partnering.  

Our fellowship program is a collaboration with the Industry Pharmacists Organization (IPhO) to offer the Fellow multiple teaching, leadership, and scholarly opportunities. Ultimately the Fellowships will provide the Fellows with the needed technical skills and competencies to become a “best in class” industry professional upon completion of the program. 

If a student is interested in applying, they can formally do so on the IPhO’s website, via their FellowMatch job portal (https://www.industrypharmacist.org/fm_landing.php).

            October 29, 2024

            The UNC Medical Center’s combined PGY-1/2 Health System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership residency program with Master of Science will be hosting three informational sessions on the following dates:

            October 29, 2024 – Program Overview, Meet the RPD and RPCs

            November 18, 2024 – Meet the Alumni

            December 19, 2024 – Resident Only Q&A (post-Midyear)

            These sessions will provide detailed insights into our residency program, which is complemented by a fully funded Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a specialization in Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership. Additionally, the sessions include quality time with our program director, coordinators, alumni, and current residents, where we’ll be answering any questions that any prospective students may have about our program.

            Development of Pan-Viral Nucleoside Inhibitors

            The severity and rapid spread of the coronavirus pandemic served to drive home that we were completely unprepared to fight such an outbreak. As a result, it became clear that there was a critical need for small molecule, orally bioavailable, broad-spectrum drugs that could be stockpiled and readily distributed when the next outbreak occurs. In that regard, for many years nucleos(t)ides have maintained a prominent role as one of the cornerstones of antiviral and anticancer therapeutics, and numerous scaffolds in nucleos(t)ide and nucleic acid drug design have been pursued. One such approach involves adding flexibility to the sugar moieties of nucleos(t)ides, for example, in the highly successful anti-HIV/HBV drug Tenofovir developed by Antonín Holý. In contrast, introduction of flexibility to the nucleobase scaffold has only more recently gained significance with the invention of our fleximers. This modification has led to a significant improvements in antiviral activity, and in some cases endowing the nucleoside with potent broad-spectrum activity across several viral families, when the parent rigid nucleoside was inactive. Another advantage observed is the ability to avoid resistance mechanisms related to point mutations by engaging secondary amino acid residues not previously involved in the mechanism of action. A second series of nucleosides being pursued in our group, involves insertion of a heterocyclic spacer ring in between the two moieties of the bicyclic purine ring system, forming an expanded tricyclic nucleoside with increased aromaticity. This modification has also led to potent antiviral activity, again targeting several different pathogens of pandemic concern. A brief history of their design, synthesis, and recent antiviral findings for these innovative nucleos(t)ide scaffolds will be discussed.
