AstraZeneca is a major international healthcare business engaged in the research, development, manufacture and marketing of prescription pharmaceuticals and the supply of healthcare services. However, as a company we are more than one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, we are proud to have a unique workplace culture that inspires innovation and collaboration. AstraZeneca employees are empowered to express diverse perspectives - and are made to feel valued, energized and rewarded for their ideas and creativity.
The arena:
Biobank scientists are responsible for the storage and timely supply of human biological samples (HBS) to AZ research projects. HBS are received from e.g. clinical studies or academic collaborations, stored in local biobanks and distributed to projects. The group primarily supports the Sweden Region but partners with other Biobank groups within AZ globally to provide efficient support across AZ and our partner organisations.
The Biobank group works collaboratively to provide support within agreed service levels with a strong focus on our customers. We strive hard to understand what fits their needs best and to add value through our services. With an increased focus on the value and use of biobank samples we actively seek ways to improve our process or exploit new technology to build a cutting edge facility.
