At AstraZeneca we use scientific excellence as our foundation for driving success in our drug discovery pipeline. We underpin this with strong collaboration, clear direction and a focus on applying cutting-edge research to support drug discovery.
An exciting opportunity is now available to join the Precise Genome Editing team within Discovery Sciences, which has responsibility for the generation of novel genome editing technologies to support projects in all phases of the drug discovery pipeline. We have a focus on target identification, target validation, disease model generation and the therapeutic use of stem cells. We are seeking a scientist to join our team in Gothenburg Sweden, where the role will focus on developing gene editing strategies for potential therapeutic use,.
The role
Leveraging your strong knowledge and experience in genome editing you will have the opportunity apply your knowledge to gene therapy projects. This includes design of genome editing strategies, implement them using techniques including CRISPR/Cas9 and validate the results. The role is focused on conducting laboratory-based activities, applying your knowledge and skills to drive project delivery and scientific innovation, participating actively in problem solving and working globally with Astrazeneca colleagues and collaborators.
