Senior Manager Formulation R&D – Teva Pharmaceuticals Ireland
The main motivation to be here was to be a part of an innovative team involved in developing inhalation products. It’s great to be a part of very successful R&D team in Teva Pharmaceutical Ireland located in Ireland South East; the transition wasn’t difficult especially as it is the sunniest part of the country!
It’s the complete package containing cultural aspects, a great sense of community, schools, plus a range of outside and indoor activities.
I have been working in the pharmaceutical industry for over 13 years after completing my doctorate in pharmaceutical sciences from Glasgow University, Scotland. I got an opportunity to move to Ireland while working with another pharmaceutical company based in Dublin where I specialised in the formulation and process development of solid and liquid dosage forms. In Waterford, as part of very versatile R&D team, I have been developing inhalation products for the treatment of Asthma and COPD.
It is very accessible and well connected to the international airports via the motorway network; Dublin is only 2 hours away. The people are very friendly and access to nature, particularly the Waterford Greenway, which is on our door step and stretching to 46 kms, is a real bonus. It has multiple mountain ranges for very scenic walks/hikes with the Comeragh range being an accessible and scenic spot.
Coumshingaun loop walk leading to the lake on the top of the mountain. This is just breath taking. Completing this trail for any number of times is never enough
I lived in Dublin for many years before moving to ISE. Dublin is great for having access to everything including theatres, restaurants, pubs, shopping malls and Dublin/Wicklow mountain ranges. However, it is very busy commuting either for work or leisure. In contrast, the majority of the same activities are available in Ireland South East, promoting fantastic/valuable time with the family. And if you need to go to Dublin it is always within two hours distance from here.
