Pharma Industry professionals will gather from all over the country for the big night on October 24th

   
 
 

Top pharma industry players are competing in over 23 categories, hoping to lift one of the award titles and trophies from the awards and earn recognition from their peers for their achievements over the past 12 months.

Entries have risen 15 per cent this year, with a significant increase in attendees forecasted for the 2019 programme.

From R&D teams, process to formulation engineers and even college start-ups; the most exciting names in the pharmaceutical industry will gather for the most important night in Ireland’s FDI calendar.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals has been nominated for the Research & Development award, Robert Iannone, M.D, M.S.C.E, executive vice president, research  & development, commented on the achievement: “At Jazz, we’re dedicated to creating life-changing medicines for people with limited or no options and we greatly appreciate being recognised as a shortlist nominee. The nomination is a testament to the hard work of our employees around the world, especially in both our locations in Ireland.”

Noel Heaney, general manager at Bristol-Myers Squibb Cruiserath Biologics, revealed the impact being shortlisted twice had on their team: “We are proud to be included on the shortlist for two categories in this year’s awards. This is not only a testament to the highly talented team that we have built in Cruiserath, but it also reinforces the importance of the work we do each day for our patients across the globe.”

The Irish Pharma Awards provide an invaluable national platform for networking and merging the Irish pharmaceutical communities together

Nominated across five categories, Pfizer has made its mark on this year’s awards. Julie O’Brien, organisation and operational excellence leader at Pfizer, commented on their success: “The broad range of categories that we are nominated in is a testament to our fantastic team here at Pfizer Ringaskiddy and reflects the enormous efforts of our dedicated colleagues in helping to change patients’ lives.”

Source BioScience sponsor this year’s Irish Pharma Industry awards. John Calvo, site manager, Source Bioscience Ireland, commented on the partnership: “The Irish Pharma Awards provide an invaluable national platform for networking and merging the Irish pharmaceutical communities together. We recognise the dedicated work of all those involved and are proud to be a sponsor.”

Dawsongroup Ireland are also sponsoring the event. Aidan McCauley, managing director, said: “Dawsongroup Ireland are delighted to be sponsoring the Pharma Industry Awards for the 4th year in a row. As one of Ireland’s leading suppliers of temperature control solutions for pharmaceutical and biotech industries, we understand the importance of delivering the highest standards for our clients. And because the awards celebrate the very best standards from within the pharma industry, it makes perfect sense for our business and brand to be associated with this event. It is the biggest night in the calendar for us to rub shoulders with the industry and support our clients and we are looking forward to another fantastic night.”
