As BIC Professor and Founding Faculty Sandra Stahl says: “The twists and turns, highs and lows of drug discovery and development are fascinating and often pretty incredible. For me, learning about and sharing these stories is a big privilege of working in healthcare comms. They bring people closer to the science and the scientists behind the medicines they take, create understanding and trust and build company reputations externally and pride internally – benefits that were front and center during the darkest days of the pandemic.”
