<br />Advances in vaccine design and development requires the screening and testing of a <br />substantial number of potential target proteins for each disease. To do so effectively, <br />developing methods for high-throughput screening is essential. <br /> <br />Aldevron is a local biotechnology company engaged in the development of DNA-based <br />vaccines. The use of DNA vaccines has been demonstrated to substantially enhance <br />the effectiveness of positive immune response to the vaccine when compared to <br />vaccines produced by traditional methods. <br /> <br />Careers <br />The following salaries are based on level two experience (out of five). <br />Biologist: $38,000 - 51,700 <br />Biostatistician: $62,000 - 83,000 <br />Chemist: $44,000 - 55,000 <br />Clinical Data Manager: $76,000 - 93,000 <br />Clinical Research Associate (CRA): Technician. $51,640 - 63,240 <br />Drug Safety Specialist: $53,300 - 65,900 <br />Medical Director: $140,000 - 211,000 <br />Process Engineer/Manufacturing Engineer: $53,500 - 64,600 <br />Quality Assurance Engineer: $49,500 - 60,500 <br />Regulatory Affairs Specialist: $48,900 - 66,300 <br /> <br />Biomedical Device TechnoloQV <br /> <br />Biomedical device technology includes the creation, research and development of <br />machines designed to aid in the treatment and diagnosis of medical problems. <br />Examples of biomedical device technologies include specific machines and devices, <br />such as pacemakers and artificial limbs, as well as components of them, such as <br />coatings and electonics. <br /> <br />The aging of the baby-boomer generation, better and readily available medical <br />treatment, and the high cost of healthcare all contribute to the driving demand for <br />advances and innovations in health technology. This is true particularly in the case of <br />biomedical devices, which can improve quality of life and life expectancy for a patient <br />with a serious illness. The demand for this type of treatment is likely to continue for the <br />foreseeable future. <br /> <br />Careers in the field of biomedical device technology are similar to those of vaccine <br />development.
