Any biopharma L/S funds that take people out of undergrad?
I am a undergrad really interested in biopharma long short investing and hoping to skip to buyside out of college. Besides the big pod shops, are there any specific biopharma funds I should be targeting? I've heard of deerfield management but pretty sure theyve only taken people out of UG from a diversity program.
Intern in HF - EquityHedge, pure crickets, that's where I come in. Any of these useful?
More suggestions...
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
These suggestions are way off.
RA Capital has taken people out of undergrad, although doesn’t seem to be every year
Boxer Capital out in San Diego.
what's up w boxer recently
Joe Lewis is the main source of capital for Boxer, and he was recently indicted for insider trading by the DoJ.

Wtf do you know about Biopharma out of undergrad? I have an MD and I’m still not ready to recruit for the Buyside?
What was your undergrad degree in?
He watched Marin Shkreli on YouTube! Undergrad English literature
Lolol I was thinking the same thing…
Wondering if you still think this is still true for an undergrad with a lot of experience (eg BioE undergrad, published papers, experience in Biopharma BD, following market constantly)
lmao as if MDs know what they're doing
Can somebody explain the whole "need a phd to follow biopharma" to me? I honestly just don't get it
Lol wtf do you cover? Restaurants or some shit
bet u don't know the difference between ass and mouth
Lol yep looks like I nailed it
lol u r just butthurt MD
Not really… left ortho residency for a great coverage team and a top analyst. Will likely make more than most ortho surgeons whether I jump to the Buyside or stay on the sellside. Making 175k base and 50% bonus and only been on the job for 1.5 years.
Anyways have fun covering McDonald’s earnings or whatever.
"hurr durr look at me i can understand ORR in cancer trials because i am big monkey know how to fix bones"
i hope u understand PoS and NPV before u go bragging to your ortho friends about future earnings
Shkreli?
Farallon comes to mind but believe it’s hc services, not sure abt bio
Biotech hiring is unstructured at all levels. Some funds require you have a graduate degree while others explicitly don’t care (e.g. EcoR1). Your best shot is to cold email different funds. Not unattainable out of undegrad, but it’s rare.
FWIW - some of the biotech dedicated roles you’re referring to have hired out of undergrad these last 2-3 years; just do a quick LinkedIn search, and you’ll see a lot from UPenn. These are LO and/or high quality funds that rarely hire. Common denominator seems to be some dual track of Finance + Bio with research experience and relevant internships.
