Interview
For my interview, I interviewed Jennifer Wong, a scientist in the development of analytic chemistry. In her occupation she purifies and analyzes proteins, as well as characterizes the proteins. She works for Panox located at 10301 Stellink Houston, TX 77025. For this company Dr. Wong analyzes proteins in order for her company to market drugs that will later help patients with certain diseases. Right now her company has not yet marketed any products yet, but they are still in the process. To arrange for the interview, I first asked my cousin, Tracy Bui, who is in the biochemistry field, but she referred me to her co-worker who had been working for that company longer. I could not visit her laboratory because I was not an authorized employee. So in order to accomplish my interview I had to resort to a telephone interview. The following are the questions and answers in the interview with Dr. Jennifer Wong.Q: What is your educational background or training? A: Dr. Wong has a bachelor in chemistry, a masters in chemical engineering, and a Ph.D. in biochemistry and also including analytic chemistry. Q: How much education do you believe a person should have in order to excel in this profession?
Q: How do you dispose of chemical wastes? A: Dr. Wong analyzes proteins in order for her company to market a product. She characterizes proteins in order for her to see if the human body will take in a certain drug. She examines the proteins for impurities. Usually the drug they want has to be an injection or oral drug. On average it takes about ten or more years before a product will be on the market. At the current time her company has not yet been able to market any products yet because the process is a long time. The product must pass the FDA regulations and must have clinical tests as well. Q: What preparations did you take to obtain this job? Q: How do you spend your time at work? A: In her lab it is regarded as "biosafety 2" where employees have ID cards that allow them to enter the lab. The lab has an electronic lock where only certain people can access the lab. The usual safety measures taken in a lab is also taken in her lab. She has to wear her labcoat, goggles, and gloves at all times. The other safety measures taken are similar to other lab safety measures. A: As Dr. Wong said, "There are no main chemicals used. There are different chemicals used when a certain type of procedure is taken." Some types of chemicals used in her lab are salt and potassium sulfate.
