Alexandre Urani’s Summary

After a few years spent in Discovery research at sanofi-aventis, as simple researcher then team leader, I am now orienting my career towards project management in development. The multidisciplinarity, transversality and relationshipity (!) of this job are the sources of my motivation.

In parallel to my main work, I've had several activities in young researchers associations, including eurodoc for which I've been in charge of the communication and the website (http://www.eurodoc.net)

Key words :
