My name is Susanne, I am a pharmacist in my practical year and recently started my career at Roche. During my time at Roche, I was able to develop myself further: Both on a subject-specific and a personal level, this internship was the perfect start of my career in pharmaceutical science.
I guess others would describe me as a helpful, fun-loving and ambitious person. I enjoy outdoor sports like skiing and bouldering – the more people involved the better. From growing up in a small town near Nuremberg, my path already led me to Switzerland for my studies – tough first to the Franconian Switzerland, to be precise. After my pharmacy studies in Erlangen, I wanted to see more of the world than only Bavaria and I finally made it to Basel, the “real” Switzerland where I joined Roche for a 6-month internship in the Drug Delivery and Preformulation Sciences (DDPS) Section.
I felt like a real team member right from the beginning and was directly introduced to my project. My two advisors were waiting for me, well prepared, with a very exciting and innovative topic concerning the measurement and prediction of solubilities and the comparison of different prediction tools. Not only for me a fascinating topic, but also a question that my department is very interested in. From my first day on, I was given full trust and a high responsibility over my project. I was challenged but I never felt alone at all - not even during these current circumstances due to COVID-19. I am thankful for the experiences I could gain, and I hope that this is just the beginning of my career at Roche.
