Welcome to Season 2 of Stories of STEM Q! James has put together a fantastic show for the first episode of the brand new season - Tamara Miller is a Moree local who left her hometown to study and build a career in biotechnology in the pharmaceutical industry. She has recently returned to Moree where she continues to work remotely for Actinogen Medical, an Australian pharmaceutical company developing treatments for neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and Fragile X Syndrome. In this interview we talk about the role of medical research companies in developing pharmaceutical drugs for the market, and how this involves large collaborations across different fields from chemistry, medicine, law and business. We also chat about the pros and cons of working from home and working remotely in a regional town.
