Karen Williams 

Since completing her industrial post-doctoral position at Eli Lilly working on novel SSRIs in 1998, Karen worked as a Proteomics Research Scientist for a short while before joining Charles River Discovery (formerly Argenta Discovery) as a Senior Scientist in Chemistry at our Harlow site. 

​

Through exceptional performance, Karen then went on to hold more senior roles such as Group Leader and ultimately as a Director of Chemistry and Analytics. She made the move into more operational and commercially focused roles and is currently our General Manager for both our Portishead and High Peak sites, within the Biotherapeutics Drug Discovery division.
