19th November 2010, Wroclaw
Barry Drees was a witness to the start of the genetech revolution when he got his PhD in molecular genetics at the University of California at San Francisco in the 1980’s. Following his postdoctoral work as a fellow of the National Institute of Health, he worked as a medical writer in the pharmaceutical industry at Hoechst/Aventis for 12 years, setting up a Phase I writing group and leading several regulatory submission teams. Barry is a frequent speaker on medical writing, statistics and other scientific communication topics for Management Forum and the European Medical Writers Association (EMWA) as well as various pharmaceutical associations. He also speaks on non-scientific topics such as introductory presentations on the history of Malta and the city of Frankfurt at the 20th and 29th EMWA conferences. He has appeared on an educational television programme in Germany to discuss the ethics of genetic engineering and radio to discuss medical writing as a career. He is the former Editor-in-chief of “The Write Stuff”, the Journal of EMWA, and is currently a Senior Partner of Trilogy Writing & Consulting. He has served on the EMWA Professional Development Committee (EPDC) since 2006, with a focus on Train-the-Trainer events.
