Introduction
Do you have expertise and passion for immunology and cell therapies? Would you like to be part of a cross-functional team driving the discovery of next-generation Treg cell therapies for treating autoimmune diseases in a company that follows the science and turns ideas into life-changing medicines? Then join the Cell Therapeutics and Engineering group within the Biologics Engineering department, and the Bioscience Immunology group within the Early Respiratory and Immunology department at AstraZeneca. Unlock the power of what science can do.
About the Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity for you, an outstanding and ambitious cell and molecular biologist with experience in immunology, T cell biology, or cell therapies, to join the Cell Therapeutics and Engineering group. Your focus will be on researching and developing next-generation Treg Cell therapies. A major focus of the Treg Therapy team is to apply Tregs or CAR-Tregs as a modality to treat human inflammation-related diseases like autoimmunity, organ transplantation, and GvHD. You will work closely with colleagues specializing in Treg cell biology, autoimmunity, gene editing, multi-omics, high-throughput screening technologies, and cell product manufacturing across AstraZeneca sites.
Project Focus
We seek a proactive and dedicated individual like you to research and develop new engineering strategies to improve the efficacy of Treg/CAR-Treg cell therapy. You will publish results in high-impact journals.
Professional Growth
We will empower you to take appropriate risks, lead your project, and "run with it," while providing all the support you need. You will work in an industry-leading group with a strong publication track record.
What You’ll Do
As part of this journey, you will drive the discovery of novel biology and engineering strategies to solve current challenges in Treg cell therapies. Through discussions with industrial and academic supervisors, you will lead innovative research to improve the efficacy and tissue specificity of Treg/CAR-Treg cell therapies. You will also have the opportunity to generate biological and translational insights and publish your research in high-impact journals, sharing your findings at conferences both nationally and internationally.
