hela Sverige Respiratory is one of AstraZeneca's main therapy areas. Our aim is to transform asthma and COPD treatment through inhaled combinations at the core of care, biologics for the unmet needs of specific patient populations, and scientific advancements in disease modification.
From a research perspective we work to understand, treat, modify and ultimately cure respiratory disease with an emphasis on four diseases with significant unmet medical need; asthma, COPD, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Chronic Cough. Recently, we reshaped our strategic focus into three mechanistic and complimentary areas in chronic lung disease: Lung Immunity, Lung Epithelium and Lung Regeneration.
To further strengthen our expertise and capacity in each of these strategic research areas we are currently recruiting world-class scientists. Do you want to join our team?
Main Duties and Responsibilities
The remit of the RIA Lung Regeneration Department is to generate in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo Biology data to further our understanding of the potential in lung regeneration in chronic lung disease and support the biology ranging from the target idea stage up until Phase 3 investment decision.
As a Team Leader in the Lung Regeneration Department you will be leading a team focused on the potential of the lung to repair itself after damage and injury. The lung is known to self-repair following acute injury or in younger patients. This group will aim to understand endogenous stem cells in the lung and how they can be manipulated to promote normal repair in chronic lung disease associated with ageing.
The Team Leader is responsible for their team conducting the research, meeting milestones, adhering to timelines and to budgets. Where necessary, you will establish and support external collaborations with CROs, academia and biotech partners. This leadership role requires a strong scientific background as well as excellent management and communication skills. You will ensure recruitment, training and development of the team members. Furthermore, you have outstanding team working skills and has a proven track record of working collaboratively to ensure scientific excellence and effective collaboration across the IMED RIA function, as well as other functions in AZ.
