Larissa Gomes dos Reis is Senior Scientist of Slade Health’s new stability laboratory located at our Mt Kuring-gai facility in Sydney. The new laboratory and the lab team bring expert in-house scientific knowledge and capability to Slade Health, allowing us to undertake detailed testing of our compounded products.

Originally from a small town in Brazil, Larissa came to Australia to complete her pharmacy degree on a scholarship to the University of Sydney. She later completed her PhD in Medicine focused on Gene Therapy. Prior to working in the health industry, Larissa briefly worked in the agricultural field, and has spent most of her time in pharmaceutical research. She found the switch to healthcare rewarding.

“It has been very exciting to be part of the stability laboratory project from the outset. The project moved pretty quickly from start to finish and we are very pleased with the end result.”

“Having the capacity to conduct scientific analysis and inspection of both component materials and final compounded products, means we can have greater assurance of the quality and safety of our products.”
