A Learning Journey
“Pharmaron will have no future if we stop learning” is a message often delivered by senior Pharmaronians.
On any given day, you’ll see teams meeting to discuss new research and findings. In addition, numerous learning opportunities are offered in-house, such as weekly seminars, international annual scientific symposia and Pharmaron College. Each opportunity reflects Pharmaron’s long-term commitment to excellence in science.
In February 2018, twenty employees completed their Ph.D. program training at Pharmaron College. To date, 97 Pharmaron employees have successfully completed their Ph.D. and M.Sc. programs at the College since its inception in 2011.
Pharmaron College offers its own designed Ph.D. and M.Sc. chemistry programs. These one- to two-year programs provide systematic advanced studies. The goal is to identify and develop talents in Pharmaron through an intense training program, which strengthens the employee’s knowledge of the most advanced chemistry technologies (i.e. computer-aided drug design) as well as improve their mindset, their approach to problem-solving and their leadership skills.
In a graduation speech made by Yuquan Liu, he pointed out how supportive the team was as they went through their learning journey. He noted that in addition to learning new chemistry techniques and methodologies, they learned about themselves and how they can better balance busy schedules, as well as stay focused on a goal.
“Graduation is not the end, it’s the beginning,” Yuquan said. “We can now take this knowledge to make greater contributions.”
