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.
To further strengthen our expertise and capacity in each of these strategic research areas we are currently recruiting world-class leaders. Do you want to join our team?
Main Duties and Responsibilities
The RIA Target & Translational Sciences department is an agile environment, with a culture that is science and patient-focused. Our mission is to understand disease mechanisms at the molecular level, identify the most effective target and the right patient population, and close the gap between bench science and bedside clinical practice.
A key aspect of translational science is the application of cutting edge data science technologies to drive disease understanding, patient and disease segmentation, and bridge to clinical outcome. The Head of Data science is accountable for leveraging available in silico data sources, technologies and expertise to drive a new understanding of patient, disease and pharmacological intervention, that will ultimately lead to new medicines for unmet clinical need. This leadership role requires a strong data science background as well as excellent people management and communication skills. you will also need excellent team working skills and a track record of working collaboratively to ensure scientific excellence and robust delivery.
