Overview
To ensure that drug compounds within the industry are safe for patients when they eventually become on market. I am frequently in the lab collecting data for this and then following this up by writing it in a lab notebook.
Skills
I have learnt a plethora of new skills from technical skills and proficiency in software and instruments to also personal skills such as communication and organisational skills.
Responsibilities
Yes, a lot. I managed my own project for 10 weeks and also I am a cruical member of my team here at AZ.
Support & Guidance
There was a lot of support throughout the placement from my supervisor, line manager and throughout my team. However, I would recommend more support during the starting period as it is quite an overwhelming role. In addition, for the supervisor to be more lab based.
Culture
Amazing culture. Felt like I fit in from day one and are a very diverse company. General atmosphere = Happy to work there.
Your Impressions
I loved my internship enough that I begin working at the company in September :)
Yes
Be prepared for a tough year but also an enjoyable one. Don't be afraid to be yourself. Don't be scared to asked questions. Be confident!
