Inviting students like Reuben on industrial placement gives us the opportunity to share industry expertise and provide first-hand experience in a commercial setting. As a focused team, we give our placement students the opportunity to get involved in live projects from day one, meaning they build their experience and gain an understanding of how value-added medicines develop from an initial idea through to reaching patients. This helps to support the development of future talent, creating space for growth, new ideas, and enthusiasm across the business.
We’re delighted to welcome our new placement student Reuben Sorooshian to the Colonis team. Reuben joins us for the next 10 months as part of his placement year studying Biomedical Sciences BSc at the University of Leeds.
During his placement, Reuben hopes to gain a deeper understanding of how a value-added medicines company takes concepts from initial ideas through to market, while also learning how Colonis evaluates new product opportunities.
“I’m looking forward to gaining hands-on experience in the world of value-added medicines. I’m keen to contribute to live projects that have the potential to make a meaningful difference to patients’ lives, while learning how Colonis evaluate potential new products and navigate the pharmaceutical market.”
Outside of the lecture hall, Reuben is an avid indoor sport climber and a member of the University of Leeds’ competition team. He is a keen follower of international rugby union and particularly enjoys attending Calcutta Cup matches.
As proud leaders in value-added medicines, it’s our mission to teach the importance of delivering value to patients with unmet needs and healthcare professionals across European healthcare systems.
