Introducing Tara: From Industrial Placement to Program Lead at HydRegen
As HydRegen expands its horizons, the company is innovating in the lab and building the infrastructure necessary for commercial success. A key figure in this growth is Tara, a bio-inorganic chemist whose journey from an industrial placement student to Program Lead exemplifies the alignment of individual ambition with the company’s mission. Tara’s return to HydRegen, after completing her PhD in Chemistry from Oxford University, marks a significant step forward in the company’s strategy to enhance its commercial and business development capabilities.
A Journey Rooted in Sustainability and Innovation
Tara’s relationship with HydRegen began with an industrial placement, where she first gained hands-on experience with the company’s groundbreaking biocatalytic technologies. This early exposure sparked an interest in the innovative work being done, particularly in the development of the company’s first product, Bio2Amine.
Tara’s time at HydRegen was left a lasting impression as she returned to continue her academic journey in chemistry at one of the world’s leading institutions. Now, with a PhD in Chemistry from Oxford University, she joins to HydRegen with a wealth of knowledge and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to take on a new role that combines her passion for science with strategic business development.
A New Role with a Focus on Green Chemistry
HydRegen’s decision to appoint Tara as Program Lead underscores the company’s commitment to scientific excellence and strategic growth. This role was specifically created to expand HydRegen’s commercial capabilities and bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and market-ready products. Tara’s expertise as a bioinorganic chemist, coupled with her previous experience in international commercial teams, and her interest in sustainability and green chemistry, makes her the ideal candidate for this position.
"I’m thrilled to be back at HydRegen in a role that merges my scientific background with commercial experience. It's exciting to be at the forefront of bringing our innovative, sustainable technologies to market."
In her role as Program Lead, Tara is tasked with driving the development and commercialisation of Bio2Amine, HydRegen’s flagship product. Bio2Amine represents a significant advancement in sustainable chemistry, offering a cost effective and carbon saving solution for amine synthesis—a process crucial in industries such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and more.
Bridging Science and Business: The Path to Commercial Success
One of the most exciting aspects of Tara’s role as Program Lead is her involvement in expanding HydRegen’s commercial and business development efforts. This role requires a balance of technical knowledge combined with strategic thinking, an area where Tara excels.
Her corporate experience, gained through previous roles and her industrial placement at HydRegen, provides a solid foundation for understanding the business side of the chemical industry. Tara’s ability to communicate complex scientific ideas to non-specialist audiences and potential investors is crucial in driving HydRegen’s commercial success.
