Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The student will be expected to generate detailed, high-quality, market research on the current state of the pharmaceutical industry. There will be a focus on orphan drugs, unaffordable medicines, and crucial currently inaccessible medicines.

We are a startup aiming to create a new, low-cost complementary method to synthesize lifesaving medicines. The prospective student would be expected to provide market research on the pharmaceutical markets so that we can understand the needs of the markets and where to focus our efforts, as well as to use the market research in presentations and information for investors.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
  • Perform and analyze market research both on the general pharmaceutical market as well as specific drugs. The student should report their findings to the supervisor at regular intervals so that the supervisor can guide and pinpoint what areas of research are relevant.
  • Where relevant, find data for specific drugs such as total market value, geographical market distribution, producer(s), manufacturing costs, and global price points.
  • Generate an in- depth, detailed report of your findings, with relevant data, statistics, and sources.
  • Summarize the detailed report in a executive summary that highlights key points and findings.
How will you support learners in completing the project?
  • We will provide regular face to face (or zoom) meeting time to discuss goals with the student, provide updates and guidance on where to focus their research efforts
  • Marketing research tools or data subscriptions that would be an asset to the student can be purchased by the supervisor as needed
What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

Students will need:

  • Access to a computer and internet
  • Experience in market research an asset
  • Knowledge or experience with pharmaceutical industry an asset
  • Experience generating financial reports and executive summaries an asset
