As a state of the art target discovery and validation research department, it is responsible for identifying novel targets with mechanisms of action for diseases aligned with Novo Nordisk therapy area priorities. The centre uses innovative and unbiased in silico and in vitro human centric collaborative approaches to identify new therapeutic opportunities for type 2 diabetes and obesity, and their associated cardiometabolic co morbidities including MASH, and cardiovascular disease. The department also drives productive collaborations with academia (particularly the University of Oxford) and biotechnology partners. The In Vitro Science team is part of a global organisation, including a team based at the Novo Nordisk research centre in Boston. Together, we work closely with our therapy area partners in the Global Research in Boston and Denmark to progress novel targets into Novo Nordisk's early project pipeline. Your skills & qualifications PhD or MSc in life sciences, computational biology, or related field. Extensive experience with medium to high throughput in vitro functional genomics and cell based screening, automation and digital workflows. Proven track record implementing FAIR data practices and deploying digital tools to support data analytics at scale, ensuring future proof data usage. Strong coding, data engineering and automation platform experience; familiarity with cloud/ML pipelines desirable. Outstanding communication abilities and effective interpersonal collaboration skills. Working at Novo Nordisk Every day we seek the solutions that defeat serious chronic diseases.
