This is where it all started for me — my first adventure in a large company and in the pharmaceutical world. Every day, I grow a little more: I learn, I improve, and I work on projects that give real meaning to what I do. For me, working at Servier is much more than just a job. For a long time, I wanted to work in the pharmaceutical field. In this profession, every failure is an advancement, every research has a purpose — and knowing that our work contributes to saving lives gives me a real reason to get up in the morning.
From the moment I arrived, I had the chance to join an advanced project with concrete results. Today, I am involved in drafting a patent, and it’s a great pride. It is a very tedious task, of course, but every written line is a protection — for our work and for thousands of patients.
What motivates me every day at Servier is the pride of working for a pharmaceutical company governed by a Foundation. And that changes everything: it’s all about research, for development, and above all for patients. That is something I defend passionately whenever I talk with people who question the pharmaceutical industry.
Even though I am a chemist far from the patient, I know that every time I put on my lab coat, every protocol brings us one step closer to a treatment that could one day change lives. Knowing that my work can contribute, even in a small way, pushes me to give my best, to learn, and to keep progressing.
Of course, being a chemist also comes with disappointments. There are weeks when we repeat the same experiment again and again and end up with… nothing. It takes a lot of perseverance. But at Servier, I feel incredibly lucky: I am surrounded by supportive colleagues, simple and genuine exchanges, and managers who truly listen. That solidarity makes all the difference, even in the most technical or frustrating moments.
