hela Sverige Are you passionate about advanced imaging and in vivo image analysis? Can you apply these skills to help us in drug discovery? Do you have expertise in applying sophisticated algorithms and image analysis techniques to complex imaging data and have a thirst for applying these skills to advance the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines to patients? Welcome to join the Imaging and Data Analytics department at AstraZeneca!
As our new Image Analysis Scientist, you will apply cutting edge technologies and advanced image processing and analysis to help derive biological insights from biological tissue and in vivo imaging data to support drug development projects. The work will be alongside our team of imaging scientists, pathologists, biologists and data scientists within Clinical Pharmacology and Safety Sciences (CPSS).
CPSS is changing the way imaging technologies are combined to offer unprecedented insight and impact. Our imaging hubs combine data from histology, digital pathology, multiplex assays, advanced molecular imaging techniques (including mass spectrometry imaging) and a full suite of in vivo imaging technologies.
This position offers the opportunity to be involved in the investigation of both the safety and efficacy of drugs within our projects in both a preclinical and clinical setting. We believe this is a truly exciting opportunity for a hardworking Image Analysis Scientist.
The Role
You will be the link between our in vivo imaging teams and our advanced image analysis experts and as Image Analysis Scientist you both support imaging data acquisition and analysis. You will develop innovative and accurate algorithms for multiple therapeutic areas across in vivo imaging modalities (PET, CT, MRI) - and be fully connected with global imaging teams offering access to our full suite of technologies.
The role also includes provide established and cutting-edge image analysis for in vivo data sets and provide expertise in image segmentation, processing and analysis using rule based and machine learning approaches to derive solutions to a range of problems in biomedical images. Working in a highly multidisciplinary environment with scientists across AstraZeneca.
Main Duties and Responsibilities:
• Deliver in vivo image analysis support and data generation for in vivo imaging activities for preclinical safety studies and TA-aligned efficacy support
• Perform data analyses and visualization, including analytics associating image analysis features with drug treatments, response and survival data, genetic features and other sample attributes using AI powered image analysis, statistics and other tools
• Active participation in the development and use of FAIR standards to deliver image management and analysis systems, processes, tools and technology to support current and future analyses and data insights to support AZ drug development portfolio
• Communicate project results, conclusions and recommendations effectively to colleagues, teams and collaborators through written reports and oral presentations at internal meetings
• Contribute to the publication of scientific abstracts, posters, presentations, manuscripts and/or patent applications
Essential Requirements:
• MSc/PhD in a Biological Science, Biomedical Engineering, Bioinformatics, Computer Science or related discipline with up to 3 or more years of related experience in academia or pharmaceutical/biotech/CRO organisation
• Prior experience working on image processing, segmentation and analysis of in vivo imaging data essential
• Proven experience using relevant commercial image analysis software packages or bespoken programming skills in one or more analytics packages (Python, MATLAB etc) for in vivo image analysis
• Desirable experience working on image analysis of digitized pathology whole slide images
• Good biological knowledge of respiratory, renal, metabolic and inflammatory disease human and animal models would be an advantage
