hela Sverige Respiratory is one of AstraZeneca's main therapy areas. Our aim is to transform asthma and COPD treatment through inhaled combinations at the core of care, biologics for the unmet needs of specific patient populations, and scientific advancements in disease modification.
From a research perspective we work to understand, treat, modify and ultimately cure respiratory disease with an emphasis on four diseases with significant unmet medical need; asthma, COPD, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Chronic Cough. Recently, we reshaped our strategic focus into three mechanistic and complimentary areas in chronic lung disease: Lung Immunity, Lung Epithelium and Lung Regeneration.
To further strengthen our expertise and capacity in each of these strategic research areas we are currently recruiting world-class scientists. Do you want to join our team?
Main Duties and Responsibilities
The remit of the RIA Lung Regeneration Department is to generate in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo Biology data to further our understanding of the potential in lung regeneration in chronic lung disease and support the biology ranging from the target idea stage up until Phase 3 investment decision.
To be successful in executing our bold ambitions, we need your skills in lung cell isolation, multi-cell complex culture systems, stem cell culture and genetic manipulation. As Associate Principal Scientist in Lung Regeneration you have a good understanding of the range of procedures relating to bioanalysis/bioscience. You will get the opportunity to design and conduct laboratory projects and experiments, develop methods, generate, interpret and report scientific data. If you are competent in trouble shooting and theory and inspired by the possibilities of science to make a difference and ready to discover what you can do - join us.
