Dr. Barbara Preston made the transition to her current role as a scientific “talent scout” after many years as a research scientist. She obtained her BS and MS in Microbiology at the University of Maryland, learned molecular biology at NIH, and earned her Ph.D. in Pharmacology at Cornell University. Subsequently Dr. Preston did her postdoc with Palmer Taylor, then Chair of UCSD’s Department of Pharmacology, looking at neuronal differentiation of stem-like cells. However, the opportunity to recruit executive management and scientists in the biomedical field combined her love for both science and people and she joined a national recruiting firm to build their scientific office. Within four years she billed and collected $1 Million for her employer through successful placements. In 2003 she stepped out in faith and co-founded PharmaScouts, Inc. where she continues attracting top talent for biomedical companies. PharmaScouts is a WBENC certified woman-owned business and Dr. Preston is an active member of several scientific, professional, and volunteer organizations. She has served as an executive and board member for San Diego’s Association for Women in Science and is currently a board member for a local nonprofit combatting homelessness.
