AstraZeneca
Cambridge CB23, UK
We have an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about delivering groundbreaking projects.
AstraZeneca has recently launched a Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) transformation programme to position us at the forefront of our field over the coming years. This includes significant investment in cutting edge machine learning and automation techniques, supported by an uplift in our data quality, standards and data engineering.
Can you help achieve our 3 key priorities? We are focused on:
Establish a robust Data Foundation for Science , ensuring our R&D data is F.A.I.R: F indable, A ccessible, I nteroperable & R eusable. The Data Foundation will implement common technologies, infrastructure & tools, along with the processes, standards & quality assurance – to make data “analytics & AI ready”. In scope is data from omics, clinical trials, ADD, imaging, literature, and real-world data, with more to be added over time
Transform our ability to surface key Biological Insights through novel hypothesis generation algorithms deployed over complex knowledge graphs – leading to enhanced validation of our drug targets as well as the identification of new drug targets, and improving our understanding of the biological mechanisms underpinning disease
Advance our capabilities in Augmented Drug Design (ADD) for both small & large molecules – employing the very latest in machine learning and automation approaches to our Design-Make-Test-Analyse (DMTA) and biologics screening processes – leading to increased efficiency in lead identification, identification of novel molecules and higher clinical success rates
Help us to realise the unprecedented opportunities afforded by advances in data availability, computing power and AI to improve the way we discover and develop medicines. Be a catalyst for change, someone that wants to work across IT and the business and make a meaningful difference to patients’ lives.
