Overview
My role is to design and execute bespoke cellular assays to investigate and validate new platform technologies and explore mechanistic hypotheses regarding safety across all phases in the drug development process.
Skills
I have developed many laboratory skills such as maintaining a cell line, pipetting work and conducting mitochondrial assays. I have also learnt how to become organized, communicate effectively and manage my time well.
Responsibilities
I was given full responsibility once I was trained and able to begin my project. My project was done very independently but I always had support around me if needed.
Support & Guidance
I had a lot of support from my direct line manger and everyone in my team. My colleagues were always around to give me productive feedback and help if I ever requested. I never felt isolated or alone during my project
Culture
Everyone was very friendly and willing to help. I also had the opportunity to shadow many other departments as all employees were always eager to have a conversation about their project and wanted to show you what work they conducted.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed it so much and it has only benefitted me massively. I am so grateful to have been able to complete my placement at GSK and wouldn't have changed anything about it.
Yes
Be yourself. GSK really values individual personalities and how you fit within the GSK values and culture.
