“It was relatively easy to find a job after my studies,” she says. “I found a number of job opportunities and went to a few interviews which allowed me to make a decision based on which job opportunity was the best fit.”
She chose PharmInvent, where she could serve as a scientific and regulatory specialist in the pharmaceutical regulatory affairs sector and apply all the knowledge and skills she acquired as a master’s student in biotechnology at UCT Prague .
“My current position at PharmInvent is strongly related to my field of study at UCT Prague,” she explains. “The training I acquired at university gave me a good understanding of the technologies currently used in the biotechnology industry. I am able to understand the current European legislation relating to food, chemical or microbiological industries, which helps me to take into account the regulatory requirements that must be met in pharmaceutical products. »
