  • 4/11 Beyond the PhD: Medical Science Liaison

    Beyond the PhD is excited to welcome Dr. Amanda Rendall, a Medical Science Liaison on the Migraine team at AbbVie. A UConn alumna, Amanda received her PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience where her dissertation work focused on the behavioral and neuroanatomical characterization of transgenic mouse models targeting risk genes of neurodevelopmental disorders. Amanda went on to study imaging genetics of language/cognitive disorders as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Yale University School of Medicine before transitioning into a Medical Science Liaison (MSL) position. Amanda had a few different MSL positions prior to landing her current role at AbbVie. In this role, she develops and maintains professional relationships with thought leaders, healthcare professionals, and researchers in the migraine space to ensure access to current medical and scientific information on disease-state and AbbVie’s migraine portfolio. Her day to day activities include presenting clinical data, supporting research initiatives, collecting insights, and educating healthcare providers. Amanda will be giving a virtual seminar about her career path next Monday, April 11th at 3PM ET. Registration for the event is free and is open to anybody interested.
