Your new role

As our new in vitro DMPK Scientist/ Research Assistant, you will support our drug research projects by:

• Independent planning, conducting, and interpreting of in vitro experiments in our laboratories to determine the metabolic stability and other important in vitro DMPK properties of new molecules across all our small molecule project portfolio.
