jobbeskrivelse:
- Research & Development - Denmark - Måløv Diabetes is one of today's great health challenges, and we are actively seeking new therapeutic options which could change the life of diabetic patients. Now, you have a chance to make a difference for diabetic patients and be part of a team that works to identify the ideal drug candidate with improved effects on lipid metabolism and cardiovascular disease. The Global Research Unit specialises in the discovery of biological medicines for the treatment of type 1 and 2 diabetes. We also discover and develop new innovative biopharmaceuticals for haemophilia and growth disorders. Furthermore, we conduct stem cell and beta cell regeneration research and other early-stage investigations aimed at finding a cure for diabetes, as well as exploring novel treatments for obesity and long-term, micro-vascular complications of diabetes. About the department The department of Insulin Metabolism Biology is seeking a skilled lipid metabolism scientist for a permanent position. The department is specialised in in vitro diabetes research with primary focus on insulin. We work in teams consisting of a scientist and one or more technicians in close collaboration with the rest of the department and the two other departments in the Insulin Biology Unit. We contribute to many different research projects and are responsible for delivering high quality data and scientific expertise to drive the research projects forward to clinical trials. In the department of Insulin Metabolism Biology, we are five scientists, nine technicians, and three Post Docs and students committed to the discovery of new and improved insulin analogues as well as new pharmaceutical peptides and proteins of therapeutic interest within diabetes care. We are located in modern facilities in Måløv in the Copenhagen area as part of the Global Research Unit. The job You, as part of multidisciplinary project groups, will provide in vitro and ex vivo experimental work in particular within cell biology and in vitro pharmacology. It is expected that you take part in suggesting and pursuing new project ideas as well as in challenging on-going projects while constantly updating your knowledge within the relevant scientific areas. You will be responsible for supervising one or more technicians on a daily basis and will work closely together with the other scientists within the department and cross-functionally with e.g. in vivo pharmacology and chemistry departments. Qualifications You are a highly capable and innovative team player, result oriented and well-organised in your working routines. You have a PhD or similar degree and at least five years of expertise in biological sciences and in depth knowledge of diabetes, diabetic dyslipidemia, lipid metabolism, and the biological processes important for the uptake, assembly and secretion of lipoprotein particles in the liver and for the cholesterol efflux in the blood vessel wall. We expect that you have solid experience with in vitro and ex vivo assay models in relation to lipid metabolism, can measure secreted lipoprotein particles and their content of triglycerides and cholesterol, and are capable of setting up and manage new technologies. Documented work with primary hepatocytes, enterocytes or more advanced models would be an advantage. At Novo Nordisk, your skills, dedication and ambition help us change lives for the better. In exchange, we offer you an opportunity to work with extraordinary talent and benefit from a range of possibilities for professional and personal development.
