AstraZeneca employees are empowered to express diverse perspectives - and are made to feel valued, energized and rewarded for their ideas and creativity.
The arena:
Biobank scientists are responsible for the storage and timely supply of human biological samples (HBS) to AZ research projects.

The Biobank group works collaboratively to provide support within agreed service levels with a strong focus on our customers. We strive hard to understand what fits their needs best and to add value through our services. With an increased focus on the value and use of biobank samples we actively seek ways to improve our process or exploit new technology to build a cutting-edge facility.
AstraZeneca is one of the world's most exciting bio-pharmaceutical companies. From scientists to sales, lab techs to legal, we're on a mission to turn ideas into life-changing medicines that improve patients' lives and benefit society. We need great people who share our passion for science and have the drive and determination to meet the unmet needs of patients around the world.
