R&D Bioprocessing Review

A split between working in the office and working in the lab. Carrying out testing as and when needed. Supporting projects the team are working on, completing any reports or data analysis based on experimental testing carried out in the lab.

I have been able to build upon skills at all stages of experimentation from planning, carrying out the test, data analysis and reporting out. I have also gained an improved understanding of the bioprocess as a whole and aspects surrounding drug manufacture. To add to this some in depth knowledge of project management and the new product development process.

I was able to carry out some testing of my own as-well-as supporting other testing, where I was responsible for publishing an internal report.

I felt as though I received sufficient support and guidance from line manager and team members. I also felt as though I could reach out if anything was needed.

The general atmosphere in the office was great, everyone was very friendly and it was a good place to work.

I enjoyed working on real products that had real uses. On top of doing meaningful work I also enjoyed having a variation between admin work at the office, laboratory practical work and project meetings. It was a great opportunity to speak to many associates all doing slightly different things and understanding better their job roles.

Yes

It's a company that has good values and almost everyone I have met are kind and willing to help out. Reach out to wherever you find interesting, take advantage of the wide range of opportunities and speak about why you want that specific role e.g. what you might want to gain out of it.
