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:
You highly value a work environment built on a formal structure, rules, and regulations. You do not enjoy the unpredictability of shifting priorities and deadlines that upset your routine. You require and enjoy direction, input and accountability as part of your work environment. You have a strong need to participate in making key decisions and feel left out if your superiors or co-workers do not seek your input when making decisions. You thrive on providing good customer service to both internal or external customers, and doing so makes you feel good.
