Hello PPSers! Want to know more about the road to industry or anything research related in general? For this episode, we have Eric Samuels, PhD to share his research in the industry with us!

Dr. Samuels, who received his PhD at UCI in 2018, started his interest in research during his time in UC Santa Cruz as an undergraduate. Following his time in UCSC, he joined Dr. Thomas Poulos lab to pursue his PhD studies. Dr. Samuels road to transition from an academia setting to the industry started when he joined the USC-Allergan postdoctoral fellowship, where he obtained the “industrial scientist mindset” and became part of an important team for small molecule product development. Currently, Dr. Samuels is a scientist in the pharmaceutical sciences department at AbbVie in Irvine.
