Making science products marketable
I work as a productisation specialist in Callaghan Innovation’s RDS group. This work involves developing or altering a scientific idea, skill or service to make it marketable for sale to the public and is an essential step in the commercialisation of scientific research and development. Productisation specialists also work in information technology as well as science.
My career has spanned working as an Innovation Manager, Technical Manager & Quality Assurance Manager in Biotechnology, Food & Beverage industries. I enjoy engaging with our scientists and helping to promote cutting-edge products. Some of the products I have launched during my career are still for sale in the marketplace. Longevity is a sign of success in productisation.
Sir Ray Avery is an inspiration, because he has carefully woven philanthropy and science together, whilst also being commercially successful. I’m also involved in developing nutritional menopause solutions to alleviate symptoms through balanced eating.
