Studies in the Pharmaceutical and Biotech industries can involve human subjects, animal subjects, and plant life. Your interviewer is looking to see what type of experiences you have in all three studies and which you prefer to know where you will best fit the organization.

Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.
"I dislike studies related to animals that put them through inhumane treatment. I was pleased to read Cardinal Health's Vendor Code of Conduct when I applied for this role and knowing that your organization feels the same way makes me confident I would be a great fit here."

"I can honestly say that I do not have a preference as of yet. As I continue to carve out my career, that may change; however, for the moment, I am happy to be working in the biotech industry in any related focus."

Perhaps you have a preference, and maybe you don't. However, when you respond to this question, keep your reply positive. (i.e., Avoid saying, 'I dislike studies related to animals.' You don't want to shut down any particular practice.) As you research this role, you will quickly see that Cardinal Health's vendor code of conduct promotes the humane treatment of all test subjects. If you use this information gained in your research in your response, the interviewer will be impressed that this information stood out to you.

"I like all aspects of the biotech industry, but I do prefer working with studies related to humans. I have been involved in clinical trials for the past three years, and I enjoy seeing patients get better with treatment. But I am happy to work in studies related to animals and plants as well."

I prefer human-related studies because that is what I have the most knowledge of. All science is interesting to me, regardless of which body we are looking at.
