The world of research is vast, which gives those wanting to experience different areas of specialty great opportunities. CROs work with several different sponsors/companies on various projects. Knowing what interests you will help the interviewer find a placement for you that best fits your skills and interest.

"Research is such an exciting industry. If I had a choice, I would love to work on any project that has to do with cancer research. Cancer is a scary diagnosis, and I would love to have some part in helping to find better ways to treat and hopefully cure it."

"I have always wanted to work in research, but I don't know if I have a favorite or preferred area. Things change so quickly within our industry that I feel any area I work in would be exciting."

If you review the company website before your interview, you can see what types of research projects PPD is currently working on. Focus on choosing an area of study that PPD is involved in to show the interviewer you will be a great addition to the team if hired. For example, suppose PPD conducts clinical trials on diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, psychiatry, cancer, and neuroinflammatory disorders. In that case, choose one of those conditions that interest you the most.
