Irina works in device testing, supporting Team Consulting with research-based projects as an integral part of medical device development.
“What attracted me to Team was the prospect of working with a diverse set of people from different scientific backgrounds, providing the opportunity to exchange knowledge and learn new skills in a very friendly environment.”
“I am happy to be part of a company that has a huge impact on people’s lives through delivering medical devices into the market.”
Irina graduated from the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom with a Master’s degree in Chemistry and obtained a PhD in Biochemistry from John Innes Centre in Norwich.
