Who would you say inspires you?
The interviewer is trying to discover more about who your role models are and why they motivate you. Think about who has mentored you in the pharm/biotech industry or a successful professional that you aspire to be like. Perhaps you look up to a parent who was a hard worker or a teacher who encouraged you to become who you are today. Whomever this inspiring person may be, remember that it's an answer from the heart that the interviewer is looking for.
"There are a few individuals in this industry who inspire me. I follow a few industry leaders including Jennifer Douda. Her achievement of winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry really motivated me to learn more about her work and contributions to science."
"My previous manager was a huge inspiration to me. Her passion for this industry and leading others was so motivating and put the fire in me to climb the ladder in my career."
