We look for you with high ambitions and a desire to work with an open minded experienced team to push the boundaries of science. You will have a key role with the opportunity and expectation to impact on our future portfolio and drug discovery programs across disciplines, both internally and through collaborations with leading academic institutions and biotech's.
We lead our industry in our development of a strong and varied pipeline. This means our people are here to win, we give you a breadth of opportunities to be curious and do cutting edge, unique work that has big impact on science and medicine.
The Innovative Medicines (IMED) Biotech Unit of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases pushes the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines to patients suffering from Heart Failure, Diabetes or Chronic Kidney Disease. To realize our ambitions we stay agnostic to molecular modality.
We drive our pipeline and the areas of scientific leadership to a large extent in collaborations with world experts which provides you as a scientist with the unique opportunity to access the most advanced knowledge and opportunities to stay at the fore-front of science.
The Medicinal Chemistry Department within the CVMD IMED is a critical player in the discovery and design of our drugs molecules and in identifying and validating novel biological targets. The capabilities span primarily around small molecules but includes peptides, oligonucleotides, molecular conjugates, etc. The department counts over 55 highly motivated and creative employees, incl. three at our satellite unit at the Max-Planck Institute in Dortmund, and constitutes a highly educated (>75% PhD's), experienced, science driven organization. Additional capacity is provided by external partners. A significant number of post-docs and students work with us in the labs to accelerate innovation in our key areas.
