A day in the life of a Postdoc
 
        Agnes Cheong
Postdoctoral fellow, Precision Neurology, Rare and Neurological Diseases Research Therapeutic Area
What does a typical day look like for you?
My day usually begins with performing in vitro experiments including maintenance of cell culture and other primary cell-based assays. Since my postdoctoral project involves transcriptomic analysis, I work very closely with the Translational sciences team to discuss data interpretation and visualization. I also participate in cluster meetings to learn and better understand the workflow behind drug discovery.
What most excites you about the work you are doing?
One of the most exciting parts about this fellowship is that aside from expanding the current knowledge of the field, I am also contributing directly to improving the welfare of patients.
 
        Sarah Martinez Roth
Postdoctoral Fellow, Type 2 Inflammation & Fibrosis, Immunology & Inflammation Research Therapeutic Area
What attracted you to Sanofi’s Postdoctoral Program versus your other options?
What attracted me most to Sanofi’s postdoctoral fellowship program were not only the resources available to you as a scientist to do cutting-edge research, but also the postdoctoral community. With the events such as “Lunch and Learn” and “Lunch and Share” you ensure that you have constant interaction with the other postdocs within the company. Additionally, with events with the postdoctoral symposium, you ensure interaction with the company as a whole. As a postdoctoral fellow here at Sanofi, you feel immense support from the organization as a whole.
What most excites you about the work you are doing?
What excites me most about the work I am doing is the direct impact our work has on patients’ lives. As a postdoc, you have the resources and tools in order to do very translational projects that will change the course of science and are at the cutting edge of research. It truly is a once in a lifetime experience.
