Re: PhD in Medicinal Chemistry

It depends on the kind of project you choose. Which area did you finish PHD -What kind of bench work you did - Synthetic or Natural products.

As far as I know for PHD holders, good opportunities are there in basic R&D. However due to recession industry might be more sceptical selecting Scientists.
