Sounds of Science

I am joined by Charles River's newest Senior Vice President, Chief Scientific & Innovation Officer Dr. Namandjé Bumpus to discuss her amazing career. From hands on research as Professor and Director of the Department of Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, to Chief Scientist and later Principal Deputy Commissioner at the US Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Bumpus has seen every angle of the industry. She joins me to discuss her research, the discipline she learned from her father's boxing gym, and her perspective on the industry today. 

What is Sounds of Science?

Sounds of Science is a monthly podcast about beginnings: how a molecule becomes a drug, how a rodent elucidates a disease pathway, how a horseshoe crab morphs into an infection fighter. The podcast is produced by Eureka, the scientific blog of Charles River, a contract research organization for drug discovery and development. Tune in and begin the journey.
