Overview

From bench to clinic: Big data and AI in drug development brings together leaders from across the biotech and pharmaceutical innovation ecosystem to explore how artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data are reshaping the therapeutic pipeline. From target discovery to manufacturing and clinical trials, the summit will examine where these technologies are driving the most impact today, and what’s on the horizon for faster, smarter, and more patient-centered drug development.

Hosted in collaboration with NCBiotech, the summit will also feature a dedicated pitch session spotlighting cutting edge innovations from early-stage companies at the forefront of AI-enabled drug development. We will also showcase how early-stage companies can collaborate with Johnson & Johnson to accelerate their innovations in this space.

Purdue Engineering Virtual Graduate Career Fair - Oct 8, 2025

Wednesday, October 8, 2025; 8am – 8pm

• Career Fair Plus Online Platform
• Exclusive to Purdue Engineering Graduate Students and Postdocs
• Meet directly with top employers actively recruiting graduate-level talent:

Register here to attend. Platform opens Oct 1 for registration; event is Oct 8. Mark your calendars!

https://app.careerfairplus.com/pu_in

Here are a few quick tips to get started:

· Do your Homework: Log into CF+ a week before the fair to explore the list of participating employers and explore opportunities. Exhibiting companies include Fermilab, Owens Corning, GE Verona, STO Builders, Onsemi, and more coming.

· Build your profile: Create a professional profile to help employers learn more about your skills and interests, this includes having a curated resume, a LinkedIn profile, and an elevator pitch to share your skills with the recruiters and hiring managers.

· Upload your résumé or CV: Have your résumé or CV ready and uploaded in CF+ (some companies offer a resume drop button) a few days before the fair so employers can review it in advance.

· Plan your schedule: For virtual fairs, some opportunities exist to schedule employer meeting times in advance. These slots can fill quickly, so check back regularly.

· Know what to expect: Virtual career fairs are hosted directly in CF+ through one-on-one video chats or group sessions with recruiters. Prepare to present yourself professionally, just as you would in person.
