Meet Dr. Hua Yang
Capabilities
He believes that the most successful employees apply an innovative mindset to technical and non—technical challenges. From tackling a logistical issue to recognizing where more communication may be needed, there’s always a solution.
“Scientists thrive on solving technical challenges. Training them to approach non-technical issues with the same passion and approach helps Pharmaron, our partners, and the entire pharma industry.”
Hua teaches a course focused on this topic at Pharmaron College, a training program for Pharmaron staff that offers Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees, which help scientists gain academic knowledge, be introduced to the latest research advancements, and strengthen their professional skills with an innovation mindset. Teaching young scientists new skills to excel in their roles allows Hua to achieve a promise he made to himself when he received his Ph.D., which is to discover and develop drugs to improve and save patient lives.
“Pharmaron College trains our scientists important skills and develops the toughness of their mindsets so they can achieve the results our partners need to get their drug to market, which has the potential to impact millions of patients’ lives around the globe positively.”
