Working at LifeArc gives my work great purpose and I highly enjoy this. It is amazing to work for a charity that tries to make the most impact for patients and pushes projects forward so treatments can go into the clinics sooner. I have learned a lot about how organisations work and, apart from science, what is involved to deliver a successful project and roll out new treatments to enhance patient benefits.”
