Drug development & manufacturing
Working with a 20-person team to plan efficient development and manufacturing processes for essential medicines.
Twenty people, one process to coordinate.
I worked as an R&D Process Engineer Intern on a team developing processes for insulin, bupivacaine with epinephrine, and other drug products. The work connected product development with the practical needs of a manufacturing line.
My contribution included studying the flow of work through the plant and helping identify the tools and equipment needed at each stage. I also worked on mechanical devices and considered how each step would fit into an efficient, workable process.
Looked at how materials and work would move through development and manufacturing.
Helped determine what tools and equipment each stage would need.
Contributed to mechanical device and manufacturing line planning.
