James Chang Bio:

James Chang is the CEO of TaiMed Biologics, a publicly traded company in Taiwan with a U.S. subsidiary. TaiMed focuses on developing monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of HIV/AIDS infection.  He started his career at Procter & Gamble, and later joined Allergan where he played a key role in BOTOX® development.  James received his B.S. from NTU in 1980 and Ph.D. from University of Washington in 1986.

Title:

Career Paths in Pharmaceutical/Biotechnology Industries: A Chemical Engineer's Perspective

Abstract:

Careers, like the chemical engineering curriculum, are evolving in the ever-changing economic landscape and global competition.  The biotech industry worldwide has been growing at a steady pace for the last 30 years and offers many exciting opportunities for chemical engineers. Chemical engineers use both math and science to develop economical solutions to technical problems.  Technical skills aside, they must possess a logical mind, a clarity of thinking and problem solving capabilities developed through rigorous engineering training, which in turn better prepare them for many challenges in pharma/biotech product and process development.  I'll provide some insight on how a chemical engineer can succeed from my 25 years experience in this field.[:en]SpeakerDr. James N.
