Sven，高级学习总监，毒理学Covance, discovered his team’s work had unpredictably reached his home – and impacted his family’s life.
2016年1月,斯文的3岁的女儿是有限公司mplaining about pain in her legs. At first, it seemed like natural growing pains, but it then became difficult for her to walk in the mornings. An ultrasound with an orthopedic doctor revealed a high level of swelling in her knees and she received a diagnosis of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis – a disorder where the body’s immune system attacks its own cells and tissues.
Immediately seeking expertise at a specialized clinic, his daughter was scheduled to spend two days getting treatment, which quickly grew into a six-week, round-the-clock stay.
“这是一个震惊，因为我要去美国上班，”Sven说道。“我不得不重新安排一切，但家庭是第一位，我的同事明白。”
Sven和他的妻子分享了职责，每花三周与女儿住在诊所。他的女儿接受了激烈的疗法，停止过十几个受影响的关节肿胀，并开始服用两种非常强大的生物药物。
“During the three weeks at the clinic, I was often alone in the evenings. I spent a lot of time checking the internet to read more about her treatments,” explained Sven.
“Through my research, I learned that one of the biologic drugs she was taking was heavily supported by Covance in preclinical development.”
Having worked with Covance for nearly 19 years, Sven saw how his team’s expertise in toxicology studies directly helped advance this molecule from the preclinical phase of drug development.
如今，由于生物学治疗，Sven的女儿能够在没有痛苦的情况下移动，与同学享受幼儿园。
“她的待遇成功是另一个提醒人们，我们在舞台上的团队每天都在表演救生工作，”Sven说。“每个部门的同事都帮助我们发展这种药物，现在我的女儿绝对可以做到一切。”
