My future colleagues [1]
- More than half of them are scientists. They carry out scientific studies, identify and assess health-related risks, carry out expert and support work, develop and validate new scientific methods and techniques, and valorise the results of their research.
- Approximately, one quarter of them are laboratory assistants. They primarily perform laboratory analyses and provide research support.
- The other employees support the scientific activities through their work in finance, human resources, IT, etc.
