• Building mechanistic understanding of targets and diseases through setting up and execution of novel molecular biology techniques

• Establishing and using advanced human disease models to deliver human target validation data and early target engagement assessments

• Identifying Proof of Mechanism (PoM) biomarkers to demonstrate target engagement in clinical studies

Essential for the role:

• Bachelor's degree with a strong experimental drive and background in relevant scientific field

• Experience in a pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry setting

• Broad understanding of relevant technologies and methodologies along with excellent laboratory skills and ability to experimentally address key scientific questions
