What do you most enjoy about working at AstraZeneca?

Transcript

What I enjoy the most about working at AstraZeneca is the collaborative nature with which we address the questions we face, to bring basic scientific discoveries from the lab to the clinic as a drug. That spans all the way from the basic discovery that we do, either in-house or in collaboration with our academic collaborators, all the way to taking it to a modality that can then serve the patients, and it spans areas of expertise that I hadnt even encountered before joining AstraZeneca, and it also allows me to stay connected with the basic scientific research. We do so much intramurally, as well as with our world-leading collaborators in the field.
