| dc.description.abstract | Have you ever stopped to think about what goes into the tiny pills that you take? How much time and money went into that pill? What was done to prove its safety for consumption? How was the writing on the label determined? Let’s take a closer look at process of how the drug model starts in the lab and gets to FDA approval. What departments are necessary and how is it all accomplished? This past summer Katie Poulin interned for a pharmaceutical company and got to see some of the processes that go into a drug’s FDA approval. Through this experience Katie learned what it takes to get a drug FDA approved, and careers that are available in this industry. | |
| dc.description.panabstract | The elderly population is a minority group often underrepresented in research. Despite limited research associated with this population, the population of older adults aged 65+ in the United States is expected to double in size to over 80 million people by 2050.(1) During the summer of 2015, four Mount Holyoke students with majors in africana studies, biology, neuroscience, and psychology engaged in research pertaining to the elderly. Their varied internships included a community health-based research setting, a hospital, a psychology lab, and a pharmaceutical company. In this presentation, these individuals come together to discuss their distinct internship experiences. They offer their unique academic backgrounds and career interests while providing insights to the range of issues that affect the health of older adult populations. | |
