Senior Scientist Integrated Bioanalysis – Immunoassay Specialist

AboutDiscovery Bioanalysis

Discovery Bioanalysis (DxBA) is a global department within Integrated Bioanalysis Clinical Pharmacology & Safety Sciences supporting AstraZenecas portfolio from early discovery through clinical development. The team applies advanced analytical technologiesincluding immunoassay quantitative LC-MS flow cytometry multi-omics and spatial biologyto generate high-confidence datasets for decision-making at key project milestones.

Discovery Bioanalysisis responsible fordeveloping and implementing bioanalytical strategies ensuring robust and reliable data to guide candidateselectionand program progression. Working closely withcross-functional project-teams the group provides comprehensive support across discovery preclinical and clinical phases contributing to the advancement of therapies for complex diseases.
