‘The department where I work ensures that vaccines which are proposed for clinical trial adhere to the relevant standards. For example, our role is to prove that our products can be injected into animals during pre-clinical phases, that our personnel has received sufficient training, etc. I work with engineers, chemists and physicists. I also train technicians in the quality assurance procedures adopted by our company.’ - Audrey, graduate |
