Amanda BryantFriedrich, dean of the graduate school and a professor of pharmaceutical sciences at Wayne State University, responded that students need to be prepared to handle the huge amounts of data that will be available in the future. One of the key issues, she said, will be to ensure that biomedical professionals can see their data through a lens of community, while also pursuing biomedical advances.

Working Across Disciplines Bryant-Friedrich and Butts said that the clinical trials enterprise should include interdisciplinary work that goes beyond already established fields, such as chemistry and biology, and bring together more disparate disciplines, including behavioral and natural sciences. This would necessitate broad training for professionals in every role and at every stage of clinical research, Monarez said.
