Taylor Chan

Biotechnology Specialist

“I get to experience every conceivable kind of technology or matter and find out what great and small companies are doing with their technology. If you love learning about new technologies but don't like doing the lab work associated with it, this job is ideal. I am continuously presented with science or legal challenges. The challenges I face on a regular basis are constantly toughening my capacity to make proper decisions and the results are always rewarding.”
