It’s a Rutgers reunion y’all! In this episode, Fatu and Shekerah reconnect with another Rutgers alum–Joseph Iacona, who is a Scientist in Experimental Pathology at Janssen.
As a scientist, Joey applies molecular techniques to assist in the drug development process. Essentially, he works in the early phase of drug development at the intersection of discovery and non-clinical safety, where his discoveries can influence the course of drug design. Joey’s work expands across many different disease areas and projects throughout the company, which adds a lot of variety and dynamism to his work. Additionally, Joey discusses the differences he's experienced working in industry compared to academia including the role that curiosity plays in each setting. Joey’s journey in transitioning to industry was influenced by experiences he had as part of the Rutgers iJOBS program (another Rutgers shout-out!), which examines career opportunities for biomedical graduate students and postdocs. Overall, the journey into industry has been a positive transition from academia for Joey; his role offers lots of diversity in the projects he gets to work on and a very collaborative environment working within and across teams to develop new treatments for diseases.
