Nour Abochama, Qualitex

Quality and compliance aren’t a regulatory checkbox — they’re a manufacturing advantage.

That’s the philosophy Nour Abochama has built her career on. As Vice President of Operations at Qalitex Laboratories, an accredited testing lab with facilities in Irvine and San Diego, Nour brings more than 17 years in laboratory operations, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance to the table. A chemical engineer, entrepreneur, and life-sciences executive, she’s founded three laboratories and a pharmaceutical company — and she’s seen firsthand how strong quality systems accelerate growth instead of slowing it down.

In this episode of Manufacturing Tomorrow, we dig into what it really takes to build resilient, scalable life-sciences manufacturing — and what those lessons mean for the future of U.S. advanced manufacturing and biomanufacturing.
