Hello All,

I just joined this forum, and I hope there are opportunities out there. I am a Scientist with over 5 years experience in the Pharmaceutical Industry. Besides from basic research, I was later exposed to CI utilizing secondary research on proposed projects and competitors research. I have gained a strong interest to pursue a career in CI. I currently reside in NJ, so if there are any opening, could you let me know.

Thank you everybody.
