At Bayer, he will be working in the business development and licensing division, which he describes as 鈥渢he engine of the company that drives the company forward in terms of innovative acquisitions.鈥�

As a fellow, he will investigate new opportunities to present to the deals committee.

鈥淕oing into business development and licensing gives you the experience of working in the future of pharmacy,鈥� said Glaves. 鈥淥ne of the goals is to spot new opportunities in the market for Bayer to either partner with or acquire. I will be working with companies developing products consumers probably won鈥檛 see for half a decade or more.鈥�

The clinical knowledge and soft skills he gained at Pacific have prepared him to rise to the challenge of adapting to new environments. He also credits his mentors for shaping him into who he is today.

While Glaves was an undergraduate student studying biochemistry, Jerry Tsai, PhD, professor of chemistry, helped him explore career paths and encouraged him to investigate pharmacy. Wade A. Russu, PhD, associate professor of pharmaceutics and medicinal chemistry, helped him gain invaluable hands-on experience working in a pharmaceutical research lab. Dan Wadhwani, PhD, professor of business, ignited his passion for entrepreneurship during the master of business administration program. Glaves also counts his colleagues, Nicholas Bolin 鈥�22, Dylan Holt 鈥�22 and Samantha Teshima 鈥�22, among his mentors.

Speaking from experience, he advocates for taking risks.

鈥淎pply to that fellowship program you think you may not get into or apply to that residency that you don鈥檛 feel too confident about,鈥� he said. 鈥淵ou might have the best interview of your life and that can lend you the opportunity that you鈥檙e looking for.鈥�

At Pacific, he was introduced to the pharmaceutical industry through Pacific Industry Pharmacists Organization and the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy. He served the community as a member of Operation Immunization. Glaves is also a proud member of Beta Theta Pi, Rho Chi and Phi Lambda Sigma.
