Brought to you by Cytiva in partnership with The Medicine Maker
Many publications offer a light-hearted comic strip – and why should biopharma miss out? The Medicine Maker is delighted to partner with Cytiva to bring you a monthly cartoon featuring the (mis)adventures of Gene and Eva in their bioprocessing lab.
If you have any ideas you’d like to see in future comic strips about bioprocessing then get in touch with us at info@themedicinemaker.com
Give us your feedback and win a 2019 Trials of a Medicine Maker Calendar!
The Medicine Maker's cartoon series 'Trials of a Medicine Maker' has been running throughout 2018 and we are keen to find out what you think of Gene and Eva's adventures. This will help us make improvements to our upcoming cartoons. The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your responses are completely anonymous.
