Upon returning to the workforce, Tamami secured a position in the laboratory of Ono Pharmaceutical, a leading, research-oriented Japanese pharma company. Since 2008, she has translated or rewritten documents covering a wide variety of fields, including study reports and articles for publication in biomedical journals, and manages the outsourcing of overflow translation for her department.
