Stephane Lamour
Stephane Lamour is a Process Technician at Pfizer. Prior to becoming a part of the apprenticeship program with MassBioEd, Stephane worked at a home care and staffing agency called CareDemands. He partnered with stakeholders and healthcare facilities to provide care in home to patients as well as at nursing homes. After doing this work for some time, he realized he wanted something different. He always wanted to participate in conducting scientific research or contributing to it in some way, and the biotech industry was always attractive to him. He had previous laboratory working experience in academia, however, it was difficult for him to find work in industry. So, when he came across the MassBioEd Apprenticeship Program, at the outset, he recognized it as a golden opportunity. He applied and was fortunate enough to get accepted into the program with the sponsorship of Pfizer. So far, his experiences at Pfizer have been dynamic. He is learning a great deal in real time and in various aspects of the workplace. He is also profoundly grateful for the incredible work the MassBioEd program has done in training him and preparing him to integrate into the workforce of the Life Sciences and biomanufacturing industry.
