  There are so many disciplines involved with R&D of medicines from chemists (who invent the medicines) to biologists (who identify the target receptors for the disease) to doctors and scientists who do a bit of everything (like me) who test the safety of medicines.
  
  I studies Biology and Chemistry at BSc then Toxicology at MSc which lead me to what I do now.
  
  I like the fact that my work is so varied and I get to help many people all around the world with the outcome of my work.
