Thomas Flower

Head of Protein Science

"I joined Novalix in 2023 as a Project Manager in Structural Biology at the Romainville site. Initially leading a team of four scientists, I’ve since grown into the role of Head of Protein Science, now managing a team of twelve. Novalix has supported my progression with tailored training and real opportunities for career development. It’s a dynamic, innovation-driven company that embraces new technologies. The working environment is collaborative and motivating, my colleagues are engaged, proactive, and passionate about delivering high-quality science."

Aurélie Luguern

Project Manager Synthetic Chemistry

"I joined Novalix in 2011 after a master degree in organic chemistry. I was part of the team that started the insourcing collaboration with Johnson & Johnson in Val-de-Reuil. Over the years I have seen Novalix grow to become the multisite and multidisciplinary company it is today and I’ve grown myself as well and had the opportunity to become project manager few years ago. What I appreciate in my daily job is team working with talented and involved colleagues on different client projects while developing Novalix technologies."

Graciela Valério

Senior research associate

"I was one of four laboratory scientists hired in 2004. I don’t hide the fact that, at the beginning, there was a lot of pressure. However, I accepted the challenge and was able to contribute to the integration of Novalyst Discovery to form Novalix. Over the years, I have learned to improve my work and become more autonomous. Novalix has a big place in my life after 21 years, and I am proud to be a trusted member of the team."

Simon Dochain

Senior Project manager

"Arriving as a junior project manager in 2019, I found a young and dynamic team, which benefited from the flexibility inherent to the insourcing model: small enough to react to the various changes in direction that synthesis projects take, but sufficiently involved in the process to appreciate the impact of our work on drug development. I also found passionate and open-minded colleagues, contributing to a good working atmosphere and professional fulfillment. In addition, I particularly appreciate the variety of activities offered to us at Novalix."
