      Synthetic Organic Chemist

      In my apprenticeship in a little firm, I have been involved in the organic synthesis of many compounds of pharmaceutical interest. E.g., clients asked us to synthesise drugs that they wanted to use for clinical trials or different kind of chemical studies. Other times they asked us to study to develop a cheaper way to obtain the same product. Here, I was in a team of chemists.
