“Together with a colleague, I am in a job sharing position and responsible for the Production Control Systems QA group. From a QA point of view, we are in charge of material for production, products for clinical trials and stability studies for all products. This means authorization and release of materials/ development products, approval of change requests, handling of deviations, performance of investigations, planning and evaluation of stability studies for all products produced at the Crucell site in Bern. Furthermore, we are in charge of harmonizing and optimizing QA systems, such as risk analysis and quality product reviews.”

“What I like about working at Crucell is: The people I work with and the familiar atmosphere; the diversity of my work and the possibility to continuously develop my skills; the opportunity I got to continue my work in a job sharing position after my maternity leave.”

“When I'm not working indoors, I like to make the most of the great outdoors. Switzerland, my home, offers the perfect environment to allow me to pursue my favourite hobbies of mountaineering and skiing, and even swimming in the lakes during the summer.”
