Hi! My name is Pelin Boran. It is a beautiful spring day here in Istanbul while I’m writing the intro on my blog. Most of you may have reviewed some information about me on the website or on LinkedIn but I wanted to tell you about my story.
Well, First of all, I graduated from Istanbul Technical University in 2004 and became a chemical engineer. In those days, I thought that it would be easy once I finished the university. Of course it was just the beginning of “Real life” for me! I wanted to work in pharmaceutical industry, since I decided about that in 2nd year of the university and had my both internship- programs in a multinational pharmaceutical company.
Anyway, as a chemical engineer, I wanted to learn about production and laboratory in a plant at the beginning. So I started to work as a Quality Control Analyst in 2004. It was pretty exciting because I was working at the laboratory but still I had connection with the production department. I learned a lot about a manufacturing facility and the work flow, the people…
However at a certain point, after nearly two years I felt that I needed to learn new things and face new technical challenges. So I changed the company and started to work as a Research and Development Analyst. I worked in Helm Projects, developed new analytical methods and worked closed to my colleagues in Formulation Development Group. And at the same time I started my Master’s program in Pharmaceutical Chemistry. It helped me a lot to improve myself and my work.
During the program I decided to work in Regulatory affairs because it was such a good position to see the big picture. I could work with all the departments in production, R&D as well as the marketing departments. So after QC and R&D experience I started my path in Regulatory affairs at the beginning of 2008. I worked on many projects for Asia, CIS countries, GCC countries, Latin America countries, African countries, European countries and I mainly worked in EU projects (starting from 2010) and I also had some experience in a few FDA projects. During those years I had experience on project development &management.
In 2014 I started to get offers from companies in other countries as a regulatory affairs consuItant and I decided to have my own company on Regulatory Affairs Solution Services for Global Projects. This is a good way to share my experience and serve people. So here I am!
I am happy to be here and look forward to keeping in touch with you!
Have a wonderful week
