It was the aspect of building teams, and the opportunity to share new exciting technologies with customers, that attracted me to Abcam originally. But it’s the quality and life-altering innovation that’s kept me here. As Director of Sales, I look at how customers can gain more of an insight from their biological samples to expand the scientific knowledgebase and improve drug discovery timelines. My role is all about helping researchers accomplish more in less time. I’m responsible for the sales of FirePlex miRNA and other Multiplex products. FirePlex assays are rapidly expanding to cover critical biomarkers in areas such as oncology, drug toxicity, immunology, cardiology and neurology. It’s hugely rewarding when researchers utilize our technology to identify biomarkers – optimizing drug development and ultimately improving patients’ lives. To me, knowing that our team plays a part in medical advancements – that’s what inspires me every day. As well as my work with customers, I also manage a team of Field Application Scientists and Multiplex Technical Sales Specialists. Both teams, like myself, are dedicated to the company’s overall mission: bringing innovative technology to researchers around the world. It’s such a pleasure to work alongside likeminded colleagues. Working together, we encourage each other to excel in a quest to advance scientific research and medical breakthroughs.
