Research on the Mechanisms of Industry–University–Research Collaborative Cultivation of Interdisciplinary Pharmaceutical R&D Talents: A Theoretical Framework

Mingqi Zhao

Abstract


In recent years, the global economic landscape has changed, and the overall economy has shown a downward trend; however, innovation-related undertakings have continued to flourish. For China, according to the 15th Five-Year Plan, fifteen major directions have been set
at the national strategic level, among which an important one is "greatly improving the level of scientific and technological self-reliance and
self-strengthening, " which undoubtedly creates a favorable environment for innovation. As one of the seven strategic emerging industries,
biomedicine occupies an unmistakable position. As people are the subjects of innovation, how to achieve breakthroughs in complex innovative drug R&D through high-quality interdisciplinary talent has become a research topic in the human resources centers of many enterprises.
Through past cases and domestic and international literature, industry–university–research (IUR) collaboration is undoubtedly an important
path for cultivating interdisciplinary talent for complex innovative drug R&D. Existing studies mostly start from the perspective of universities; this paper, from the perspective of enterprises, explores cross-academic–industrial learning, the embedding of knowledge carriers, and
the industrial translation of basic research, and proposes three core mechanisms for realizing IUR collaborative cultivation—dual appointment and dual salary for mentors, talent and resource sharing, and project market translation management—thereby constructing a theoretical
framework for IUR collaborative cultivation of interdisciplinary pharmaceutical R&D talent. The paper defines the connotations of the three
mechanisms and analyzes their pathways in promoting interdisciplinary knowledge integration and the close combination of theory and practice among R&D personnel. The theoretical contribution of this paper lies in distilling an IUR collaborative cultivation framework in the field
of talent development from an enterprise perspective, revealing the internal logic of "embedding–sharing–translation" collaborative cultivation, and providing a conceptual basis and propositional directions for subsequent empirical research.
