ABOUT ASTRAZENECA

AstraZeneca is a global, science-led, patient-focused biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialisation of prescription medicines for some of the world's most serious diseases.

But we're more than one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies.

SITE DESCRIPTION

Welcome to Computational Pathology Munich, one of over 400 sites here at AstraZeneca, providing a collaborative environment where everyone feels comfortable and able to be themselves is at the core of AstraZeneca's priorities, it's important to us that you bring your full self to work every day.

To help you maintain your best self, here's a sneak peek into some of the things this site provides for you:

After-work events, lunch & learns, spacious environment, sustainable office working environment, events, family and childcare support and of course the Alps around the corner for hiking, biking and skiing.

BUSINESS AREA
From diagnosis to later stage development, we're laser-focused on leading the way forward to create solutions that transform lives. We are focused on identifying and treating patients earlier, where there is greater curative potential.

With the greatest number of early stage cancer trials in the industry, we are getting closer to finding cures every day.

It is the breadth and strength of our innovative pipeline that offers both security and stability. And with the goal to deliver 6 new molecular entities by 2025, it's up to each of us to keep pushing our industry-leading Oncology pipeline forward and build the future

With pace and drive, comes trust that we will get it done. Embrace the freedom to create and expand your horizons.

Always backed and supported by pioneering leaders, this is the place to build a world-class career that's meaningful and rewarding.

Here we're on a journey to becoming digitally enabled, to discover new ways of offering better solutions to our patients.

Join the team with a vision to use data as a tool, to build a better, deeper, more personal understanding of the people we're helping.

To ultimately deliver better outcomes for them - through dynamic omnichannel content, personal relationships, and experience.
