Are you passionate about imaging and advanced image analysis? 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? We have an opening at our Imaging and Data Analytics department at AstraZeneca!

We are looking for an Image Digitization Scientist to 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. You will work 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 Digitization scientist.

The Role

As an Image Digitization Scientist, you will support both imaging data acquisition and analysis and be the link between our imaging teams and advanced image analysis experts. You will apply your 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. You will develop innovative and accurate algorithms for multiple therapeutic areas across multiple imaging modalities.

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

• Actively support and participate in the digitization of biomedical images to support drug discovery activities

• Participate in the development of FAIR standards to deliver image management and analysis systems, processes, tools and technology to support current and future analyses and data insights across all biomedical image types to support the AZ drug development portfolio

• Develop and use libraries and machine learning tools aimed at pre-processing / analysing / summarising large and multimodal image data sets

• Build and internalize algorithms and techniques to answer defined digital pathology, mass spectrometry imaging and in vivo imaging questions and ensure that results are scientifically robust and documented.

• 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

• Contribute to the publication of technical protocols, 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

• Proven knowledge and experience in image segmentation, pre-processing, reconstruction, feature extraction and image analysis

• Experience and programming skills in one or more of the languages/packages e.g. Python, Tensorflow, Keras, Pytorch, MATLAB, R, Java, HALO, Visiopharm, Definiens to address image analysis questions

• Experience working with and analysis of large quantities of imaging data across modalities e.g. cellular imaging, digital pathology, mass spectrometry imaging and in vivo imaging (CT, MRI, PET)

Desirable Requirements:

• Desirable for experience using mathematics and data science knowledge to apply machine learning and deep learning methods to address image analysis questions.

• Desirable for experience of digital pathology imaging systems for the digitization of pathology images.

• Excellent skills in English, both written and oral communication and strong problem-solving and collaboration skills.

If this sounds like the challenge for you - apply today and join our team!
