In this episode of Lift Up Journeys we were joined by the wonderful Debra Webster, who is the Vice President of Regulatory Affairs at Aditum Bio, an innovative biotechnology research company that’s making medication more accessible.
Debra has over 30 years of experience in pharmaceutical research and the regulatory environment, giving her a wealth of knowledge in the life sciences space.
She joined us to talk about her fascinating professional history, as well as sharing how she juggled personal and professional responsibilities while raising a family, and the power of community.
Some of the highlights of the conversation include:
“You graduate with a degree in biology, you think, ‘Oh, my, I'm gonna be a doctor, I'm going to be a dentist.’ And the opportunities for other careers are not nearly quite so evident.”
“As you're moving through your career, always look for opportunities to mentor someone who's just coming into the field.”
“Everyone's so busy with their schedules, but it is important to try and maintain those relationships and expand on them.”
“Once my middle child went off to college, and the second one was ending his high school career, that's when I went back to the workforce, in an office setting, because I really did miss that.”
Tune in to hear from an incredible woman in life sciences.
