Daily Duties at Novartis:
I am responsible for developing and optimizing methodologies to improve production of preclinical vaccines and to determine the safety of vaccine candidates. I applied strong technical skills to optimize methodologies for vaccine production, contributing to a one thousand-fold increase of preclinical vaccine yield during the second half of 2009. My work generated valuable information on preclinical vaccine contaminants and safety resulting in reengineering of vaccine candidates. I consistently develope and deliver well organized experiments resulting in robust data. I effectively handle critical experiments through creation of quality protocols, sound statistical analysis, and error-free execution in a cost-conscious, timely manner.
What they like about Novartis:
Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
