At AstraZeneca, we are constantly striving to make new discoveries. Discoveries that will make a meaningful difference to health globally. We already have an exceptional product pipeline, and everyone here has a part to play in making sure that pipeline fulfils its potential. This is your opportunity to join them - and to fulfil your own.
We have an exciting opportunity for a PhD scientist to embark on a basic research project in the area of gut microbiota interactions with the host, especially interactions with the gut epithelium and how that interaction influences the whole-body metabolism.
Your work will be focused on knock-out in vivo models models, both complete knock-out and intestinal knock-out (Villin-Cre) to be able to understand the importance of the gut specific interactions as opposed to whole-body deficiency. You'll be studying specific effects of target on the gut microbiota using 16S RNA based profiling. Importantly, you'll also be investigating the specific in vivo effects of the gut microbiota. The animals will be carefully characterized metabolically. Moreover, specific small molecular inhibitors of the target will be used to investigate the effects of pharmacologic treatment on the gut microbiota and metabolism. This opportunity will involve close interactions with both scientists at AstraZeneca and Gothenburg University. At AstraZeneca you will be exposed to and learn about the pharmaceutical drug discovery process.
