In this episode of Lift Up Journeys, Katy was joined by the amazing Marta Parmar. She is the Chief Quality, Regulatory and Pharmacovigilance officer at Ferrer.

Marta has over 22 years of combined R&D and regulatory experience in the pharmaceutical industry. She's focused her work on driving registration and enabling early access of innovative medicines in a variety of therapeutic areas, including oncology, neuroscience, cardiovascular, and renal conditions to markets worldwide.

She joined us to talk about her career journey, as well as how she has supported the Life Sciences industry outside of her career, and advice for women looking to take the next step.

Some of the highlights of the conversation include: 

"I think what what really also impacted me was the, you know, the the minority of female scientists."

"Smaller companies are fantastic to get an exposure to a variety of areas and to, you know, to be able to get your hands dirty with with a lot of different projects and different experiences."

"Nurture your network, build it, nurture it. Make sure that you work on your relationships with your co-workers, have support, you know, ask for help."
