Hey Busabdutta,

Pharmaceutical Scientist is very reputed and responsible career option. A pharmaceutical scientist researches, develops and make new drugs and therapies for the well-being of the society. A pharmaceutical scientist researches about new drugs for the untreated diseases and also improves drugs to no side effects for the disease treatment. These scientists have to work in the laboratory where you will be doing research.

For becoming a Pharmaceutical scientist,

First of all, a candidate is required to pursue a Bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical sciences, biology, pharmacy, chemistry, engineering or medicine like courses.

Then some of the graduates go for post-graduation with M.Pharm or something but doing a Ph.D. Is more suggesting. Dual degree programs are mostly beneficial that are available with a pair with Ph.D., that other includes specialized medical degree like Medical Doctor (M.D.), Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.), Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.), and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). With this dual degree program a individual learns both clinical and research skills.

These medical scientists often continue their education with postdoctoral work for getting much more good experience and techniques.

If you are researching about administer drugs, gene therapy, or otherwise practice medicine on patients in clinical trials or a private practice you are needed to obtain a license to work as a physician.

Good Luck!
