Dr Julie Qualter!

Dr. Julie Qualter’s life story is nothing short of extraordinary. Growing up on one of the toughest council estates in Greater Manchester, Julie faced a challenging start—one that included leaving school without qualifications, limited resources, and little hope of a promising future.

But through resilience, determination, and a relentless pursuit of education, she transformed her life in ways she once thought impossible. Now a leader at Lonza, a global giant in pharmaceuticals and biotech, Dr. Qualter works in MODA Informatics, helping biopharma companies navigate digital transformations in manufacturing and quality control.

Alongside her prestigious career, which includes earning a first-class Integrated Master’s degree and a PhD in clinical spectroscopy, she is a passionate advocate for women in STEM. Dr Qualter’s journey is a powerful testament to overcoming adversity and breaking barriers, and she is on a mission to inspire women to pursue their paths to greatness—no matter where they begin.
