R Northwood Consultancy

Roger Northwood - Director

 

I started as a YTS in a diabetes research lab at ICI pharmaceuticals running enzyme assays.
On completion spent 4 months in packing lines at Ciba vision following which joined Zeneca Pharmaceuticals HTS laboratory.
Gained experience in High Throughput Enzyme assays, receptor binding assays & membrane preps. Branched out into Automation specialism after the centralisation of our compound production. Since then have been an active customer rep on 3 high profile automation projects and smaller installations across the whole R&D process, have championed new technology implementations such as acoustic dispensing. I obtained valuable experience in facilities and project management in Baxter healthcare before returning to automation research at Unilever in Port Sunlight. Having gained valuable experience in sales with Autoscribe informatics I returned to automation with Amazon robotics, which included full commissioning of and first line support within an Amazon fulfilment centre. As a limited company contractor I continue to enjoy any opportunities in laboratory automation, automation LIMS and instrumentation. Feel free to contact me regarding any aspects of automation and perhaps I can help?
