I choseLonza because…
It offers
tremendous variety – there are multiple customers and processes, plus
you can acquire diverse skills that help you learn and grow.
Since Istarted at Lonza, my career has
progressed…
…steadily. I joined Lonza in September
2007 as a Technologist in Cell Banking, based in Slough. I progressed
to Lead Technologist and then moved into management as a Senior Group
Leader. In 2015 I saw an opportunity to move into Cell Therapy. This
appealed to me because I could use my existing skills, get exposure to
classified Clean Rooms and get the chance to make the final injectable
drug product. In 2016 I joined Singapore Cell Therapy Manufacturing
operations as a Senior Section Manager.
It’sspecial
to work at Lonza because…
The opportunities are
truly there if you want them. From exposure to the big Pharmaceutical
players, to the next potential big blockbuster product of tomorrow,
there’s endless diversity and challenges.
My workis
meaningful because…
Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) is
very dynamic as it’s a rapidly growing area. The indications and
potential of the products produced from stem cells are very promising,
and CGT is seen as the future of medicine.
Whatmakes me feel good at the end of the working
day is…
The fact that Lonza has given me the
opportunity to grow in my personal development, and to work for two
different businesses in two countries. It has taken me from a young
Technologist to a Manager responsible for multiple teams of people.
The mostexciting thing about working at Lonza
is…
Having the opportunity to work in Singapore.
Working in the large-scale manufacturing facility is an amazing
experience and I’ve been able to see a lot of Asia too. Singapore is
such an incredibly diverse country and the scale of the manufacturing
facility is awe-inspiring. It has four 20,000L bioreactors and
associated seed trains, and purification capabilities.
What Imost appreciate about my team is...
They’re amazingly talented people! With the potential to move
between functions and sites, I have had the opportunity to work with
many different colleagues.
