I feel lucky to work alongside some great colleagues and friends here at SB. Our team of scientists is full of innovative ideas and problem solving expertise, which is great to be a part of – and there is always something new to learn! I also really enjoy being involved in such an exciting phase of drug discovery, working alongside clients from across the globe who are world-leading experts in their field of scientific research and helping them to achieve their goals.
SB provides great opportunities for staff to reach their potential at every level of expertise. Focus is not just on delivering pioneering work, but also about ensuring that staff feel supported and appreciated for the challenging work they do.
For me, I enjoy using my professional skills in such a dynamic environment, with state-of-the-art technologies and a collaborative team atmosphere. And with our global client base and broad range of drug targets, life is always interesting here at SB!
Working at SB, I have been presented with some great opportunities to advance my skills and learn from those around me. SB’s core values really are at the heart of what we do here and it’s been a joy to see how these are implemented throughout the company. As Project Leader, I believe it’s important to be encouraged to develop your personal and professional strengths, which in turn enables me to support my colleagues to do the same – and when things work so well internally, I believe our clients sense that.
I joined the SB team over 6 years now and have really enjoyed being part of this global company which contributes to pre-clinical stages of drug development. During this time, I’ve been fortunate enough to be part of the expansion and growth of our electrophysiology team, where we are continuously encouraged to undertake new opportunities, and broaden our ion channel knowledge in the process. It’s a privilege working alongside ion channel experts whose hard-work and dedication create such a supportive and dynamic working environment.
I love being part of such a collaborative, hard working team here at SB. I have had the pleasure of working alongside many of my colleagues for over a decade and we continue to learn a lot from each other’s in-depth knowledge and experience.
Not only have I enjoyed working with the same team, but as our team has expanded, new colleagues have brought fresh insights and ideas to continually build upon our company’s visions and ethos. In addition to new faces, our investment in the latest, cutting-edge equipment over the years ensures we stay at the forefront of advances in the field.
The last ten years working at SB have flown in and I have gained so much from my experience here. With a strong, organised work ethic, I feel a great sense of achievement mentoring and teaching the next generation of young scientists.
The advent of automation to support ion channel research has brought great excitement and it is always a delight comparing new state-of-the-art platforms with the “gold standard” manual technique! I feel lucky to work in such a friendly, fast-paced environment with a great team of colleagues to share these experiences with. No two days are the same here at SB, and there is always room to learn and improve on a personal and professional level.
