Over at his BBGM blog, Deepak Singh mulls over the differences between academia and industry. Using his software experience as a foundation, Singh writes that from what he's seen, the major difference comes in process control: While "basic research and early stage discovery can be a lot like academia," he blogs, "research gets a lot more 'locked down' so to speak" in the drug development phase. He notes that software in a clinical setting tends to have far fewer features because it's tough to allow for that kind of complexity in a very controlled, highly regulated environment.
