Today was my last day of Work Experience at Tergus Pharma. We spent all of our time in the analytical department and lab. We worked with a placebo of a drug (with no active drug component) and we worked on validating it. Analytical has three sub-sections. First, there is method development, then validation, and lastly quality control. These three groups work together to first come up with a method, then test the method, and the finally just use the method. Since we worked in validation, we got to prepare placebo samples and then test them in an HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) machine. It was a really hands-on day, and it was a lot of fun.
