  1. Internship at Inclin Kelly Speth November 4, 2013

  2. My Background & Experience • B.S. in Biological Sciences, Cal Poly State University • Worked for 12+ years as a Clinical Research Associate and Clinical Project Manager for Pharmaceutical Drug Trials • Entered the M.S. Statistics program at San Jose State (2013)

  3. My Internship Objectives Primary Objective: • To acquire statistical skills to make myself marketable after my internship (to pay my way through school) Secondary Objectives: • Get exposure to different types of studies • Network with Biometrics professionals • Improve my SAS programming skills

  5. Why I Chose Inclin Nearby! of projects

  6. Why Inclin Chose Me (i.e., How I got the Position)

  7. BIG Picture: Drug Development Infinite !!! 6-10 Years Primarily Non-Human Studies 20-100 Healthy Humans 100-500 Diseased Humans 1000-5000 Diseased Humans Kelly Philpot, PPD (2006)

  8. Clinical Trials Administration Within Biometrics: -Biostatistics -Clinical Programming -Clinical Data Mgmt Biometrics Design * Data Collection * Analysis * Interpretation

  9. What the Internship Entails

  10. Projects • Perform SAS programming for secondary analyses for publications related to pregnancy-related risk factors (2 academic groups) • Create Statistical Analysis Plan and analysis listing shells for Phase I cancer study • Perform Quality Control (QC) for draft and final analysis tables and listings before they are submitted to client (multiple studies and clients) • Do research on topics relevant to a practicing biostatistician in drug development

  11. Sample Project Hello I need a concordance analysis (see tables 2a and 3a on the attached) for the studies 112 and 113 combined. The attached is only for study 112. There is an integrated database in the SponsorX folder in the following C:\DATA\SASFiles\SponsorX\Integrated\Programming\Data You can use ADEF and you will need to use PARAMN = 1 for early clinical response and then Paramn=3 for investigator response at EOT and 4 for IA response at PTE. Sorry – But I have to run – so let me know any questions. That should give you a start Thanks

  13. What I Got Out of this Internship Primary Objective: • To acquire statistical skills to make myself marketable after my internship (to pay my way through school) Secondary Objectives: • Get exposure to different types of studies • Network with Biometrics professionals • Improve my SAS programming skills

  14. Recommendations for those Interested in Clinical Research • Job outlook is good! “It’s very hard to find statisticians in the Bay Area because there are a lot of biotech companies but very few feeder schools.”

  16. Recommendations for those Interested in Clinical Research (continued) • Take a course to understand the basics of clinical research and drug development • UC Berkeley Extension • UCSC Extension • Look at job descriptions for skills & education needed • Improve your SAS skills • Talk to me

  17. Recommendations for Finding an Internship • Determine what your interests are Do an internship in a field that you are interested in working in • Understand (and acknowledge!) your unique skill set • Don’t give up – you are offering free labor!

  18. Thank you
