The Industry Foresight Council (IFC) works with the Controlled Release Society Board to better leverage the overall value that industry can bring to our community. In this session, we will have the opportunity to get to know the career path and current focus of IFC members, consisting of scientists from big pharma companies and industry associations such as Roche, Merck, AstraZeneca, Sanofi, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and IPEC-Americas. A Q&A slot will follow, in which young scientists will have the opportunity to ask questions about industry-focused careers.
