# GRACE MARIA SHIJU on Tal

## Headline

Biotech Graduate \| Clinical Research & Drug Safety \| 1 yr Pharma IT Support \(Viatris\) \| Ready for CRA/CDM Roles

## About

I'm a life sciences graduate with an MSc in Biotechnology \(Christ University, 2024\) and hands\-on experience at the intersection of pharma IT and clinical operations\. At DXC Technology, I provided infrastructure support for Viatris — a top global generics company — working daily with LIMS, Veeva Vault, SAP, and ServiceNow\. I maintained a 98% CSAT score while resolving high\-volume tickets and informally mentoring new team members on pharma\-specific workflows\. Before that, my internship at Biozeen gave me real lab experience — bacteriophage isolation, plaque assays, SOP authorship, and a full research report on biocontrol applications in crop plants\. I'm now transitioning into clinical research, pharmacovigilance, or clinical data management, where I can combine my scientific background with the process discipline I built in pharma IT\. I'm currently completing GCP and Clinical Trial Design training on Udemy\. Open to roles in Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, or remote\. Let's connect if you're hiring for CRA, PV associate, or CDM roles\.
