Analytical scientist · Basel

Careful science,
quiet confidence.

Hi, I'm Vicky. For the last three years I've been running analytical methods on biologics at Lonza — the kind of steady, detail-loving lab work that lets bigger decisions rest on something solid.

Careful hands, quiet mind, results you can trust.

I like my days calm and my work sharp — moving through the lab without fuss, catching the small things, and finishing what I start.

I care most about doing good, honest science and protecting a bit of peace while I'm at it. Warm tea, a tidy bench, and a plan that makes sense.

Where most of my craft has been built.

Since 2023 I've grown from a QC intern into a scientist trusted with instruments, methods, review and training. Small steps, honest work, real ownership.

Pre-clinical analytics on biologics.

Day to day, I run physicochemical and purity testing on biologic drug candidates — the kind of work that decides whether a sample moves forward or comes back to the bench.

  • CE-SDS
  • UV / SoloVPE
  • Particle size & charge
  • AF4
Instruments I look after

Ownership, not just usage.

I qualify, maintain and document the systems I work on so the whole team can rely on them.

  • UV-Vis qualification
  • PAMAS acquisition & setup
  • Mastersizer & Zetasizer
  • HIAC, LAFs and lab infrastructure
Quality & data

Every result, traceable.

Working inside GMP with ALCOA+, LIMS and electronic workbooks — reviewing analyses, preparing documents, keeping data clean.

  • Data integrity & review
  • SOP writing
  • Document preparation
  • Sample management
Making the lab nicer

Little improvements, every week.

I'm the 6S contact person on my team and quietly love turning small friction into calmer, faster days for everyone.

  • Lean Six Sigma · White Belt
  • KANBAN implementation
  • Method training for new joiners
  • Process tidying & SOPs

The methods I reach for most.

Hover a method to see where it fits in the analytical picture.

Biologics

Good analytical work is invisible when it goes right.

That's the part I love most.

One careful step at a time.

How I like to work

Quietly. Quickly. With a little Bearer Panda on the desk, a cup of something warm, and a plan that lets me focus.

What I'm growing into

Moving gently from hands-on testing into more review, more documentation, more looking-after-the-whole-thing.

Kind, careful chats always welcome.

If you're working on something in analytical development, biologics or quality — or you just want to swap notes — I'd love to hear from you.
