External Supply & Plasma Innovation
I try to get better quality blood donations in order to assist in plasma-based therapeutics.
I work in external supply and plasma innovation. Specifically, I work in human blood plasma derived therapeutics. We take human blood plasma from donations and purify out a protein, something that someone needs if they have a rare disease. I work on the upstream / business side of things in trying to get more donors and better donations. I travel a lot.
