Summary
I am a biological science professional with 9+ years of animal health and pharmaceutical experience.
My scientific background is specifically preclinical testing of drug products. During my career I have
been responsible for both collection and analysis of biological samples. I have more recently been
promoted to a management position, responsible for supervising the preclinical testing being
completed by two technicians.
My career goal is, and always has been, to work in a position which I find fulfilling, but is not so
intensive that it takes away from my first priority - my family.
Specialties
Drafting of documents such as study protocols, standard operating procedures, work instructions, and
final study reports. Data entry and analysis. Animal handling procedures. Pharmacokinetic testing.
Mammalian cell culture. Virus passage and titration in SPF chicken embryos. ELISA.
Haemoagglutination (HA), Haemoagglutination Inhibition (HI) and Serum Neutralization (SN) Assays.
Bacterial cultivation and titration. Bacterial fermentation on a small and medium scale (12L and 50L).
Experience

the daily testing completed by two animal technicians, whom I directly manage.
