Burcu made a brave career change recently into management, as leader of the technician commitment at Sanger. It was great to hear about how her experience as a wet lab technician has helped her in this role, tackling the issues that technicians and technical experts face throughout their careers. Plentiful experience in the malaria lab at Sanger definitely aided this, and we got to hear about one of the fascinating projects that she worked on.

Below are some resources that you may find useful after listening to our conversation with Burcu:
