Associate Scientist at AstraZeneca planning analytical experiments and completing method qualifications and internal tech transfers.

United States
Message

At AstraZeneca, I work on projects across different functional areas of BPD, contributing to product development. I plan and perform analytical experiments to meet project needs and interpret research and data.

I also complete method qualifications and internal tech transfers, troubleshoot instruments as needed, and authorize SOPs, reports, and other technical documents. I present and discuss experimental results at meetings, in presentations, and eLNs.

Previously, as a Scientist at Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories, I performed routine physical, chemical, and instrumental analysis, ran instrumentation independently, and executed method transfer protocols. I also processed data, generated reports, and trained others in laboratory procedures.
