How Has PPD Impacted Your Career?

quote

I love working at PPD Laboratories. The environment is just a really friendly one and positive solution-based. I like the challenge and I like helping people. My role definitely improves health…[My client’s product] helps with liver function. It’s an orphan drug status which means there are no other drugs to treat this. I’ve been part of it for the past two years so that feels pretty good to get it out to market.
