Host: Eleanor is a Biochemical Mass Spectrometry Expert at the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline. She studied for a degree in Biochemistry before completing a PhD in Chemistry. She then worked in a research laboratory in Copenhagen, Denmark before returning to the UK to work at GlaxoSmithKline. How do life saving medical treatments get researched, created and tested? In this class, Ellie will talk through a day in the life of a research scientist at a large pharmaceutical company, the journey she took to get there and some of the alternative routes into the industry. Ellie will also discuss skills they utilise every day in the job covering some of the highs and lows. This is a great class for students which a passion for chemistry or an interest in exploring a career they may not have discovered.
