Here you can thrive in a place where the brightest and most curious minds seamlessly come together in our inclusive environment.
What you'll do:
You will use your innovative thinking to explore the in vivo delivery of new genome editing technologies. In this lab-based in vivo senior scientist role, you will be part of a team responsible for developing and testing tissue specific delivery of oligonucleotide and CRISPR-Cas9 related technologies to mice and rats. Leveraging your understanding and experience in genome editing you will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge to gene therapy projects. You will assess the efficiency of genome editing in vivo by next generation sequencing or biomarker assays. You will be involved in all stages of a project; plan, design, execute and analyse data from experiments to generate high quality results to support project decisions and milestones.
Essential for the role:
The right candidate for this position is a motivated team member who enjoys collaboration and interacting across our AZ global functions and fields.
