Science in Motion: Autumn and Sabrina's Noteworthy Novartis Adventure

In the ever-evolving world of STEM, where innovation and discovery are to the forefront, the stories of women who have made their mark are both inspiring and essential. Today, we're shining a spotlight on two dedicated Novartis employees who have chosen to begin their careers in manufacturing operations, paving the way for others to follow.

Sumeet, Global Head of Service Enablement & Governance, People Services & Solutions

Parental leave – A leadership opportunity

We believe in the importance of balancing professional and personal responsibilities. This belief is embodied through our inclusive parental leave policy, which supports all our people in taking the time they need to be with their families during significant life events. Sumeet shares his personal experience.

Biologist to Head-hunter

Sharing my career journey and decision to relocate to Ireland was an opportunity to pause and reflect, strengthening my belief that change is not always easy, but it can be very rewarding.

My Journey to Novartis: Finding my Purpose and Passion

When I first joined Novartis, I was nervous yet open to new experiences. I did not have experience in the pharmaceutical industry, and the dynamics and ways of working in marketing were completely different from what I was used to.

Svitlana, Junior Project Manager, Giving & Volunteering

Every number has a story – my journey to Novartis as a Refugee

The current refugee crisis is one of the world's greatest humanitarian challenges. Svitlana shares her story of her journey to Novartis and how her work as part of the Giving and Volunteering team is opening the doors to refugees and other marginalized groups and allowing our people to make a difference by helping those who are most vulnerable.

Is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) really that important?

We think so and here are just some of the reasons why: we believe our workplace should reflect today’s emerging workforce; every culture needs diversity to thrive; and it supports fair treatment and opportunities for all our people.

A personal journey full circle, from curiosity about life on Earth to transformative therapies at Novartis

When I was young, my interest in science initially started with the natural world and with animals. There's a BBC Nature presenter and biologist called David Attenborough who's very famous in the UK and he was a really big idol of mine.

From black holes to AI driven drug discovery – collaboration wins the day

What would you say if I told you that 1 + 1 = >2?It may sound extraordinary, but it is an accurate reflection of the work I am currently doing in the field of drug discovery with my team of AI experts at Novartis.

How collaboration can enhance your science career

Ever heard of organoids? The scientists I collaborate with use them all the time. They are simplified and miniaturized tissue-engineered models that mimic the structure and function of real human hearts, brains, kidneys etc. Basically, a super-tiny organ that you grow in the lab. Amazing, right?

Balancing family life with a legal career

How do you achieve a healthy work-life balance? It’s a question we often ask ourselves at Novartis. We take health and wellbeing very seriously and are committed to helping our people be at their best, at work and in life.
