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.% buffered00:0000:49Video length: 49 seconds0:49What I enjoy the most about working at AstraZeneca is the collaborative nature …MarkusSenior Research ScientistExplore the local areaTake a look at the map to see what’s nearby.
