Together with several European academic groups and pharmaceutical companies AstraZeneca is taking part in the IMI-SUMMIT collaboration.

You will collaborate with partners in IMI-SUMMIT in order to provide them with relevant and value-added information in an efficient way. You will be based at AstraZeneca R&D in Mölndal at the Bioscience department, but occasionally also at the University of Dundee.
