For our client, Hoffman La-Roche, we are looking for a motivated candidate for the temporary role of Research Associate for in vivo Nonmalignant Hematology Research (w/m/d) 100%
We are seeking a Research Associate to support the preclinical evaluation of novel therapies for nonmalignant hematologic disorders, including bleeding and thrombotic diseases and anemia. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will assess efficacy, safety, and translational relevance using complementary in vivo and ex vivo approaches with preclinical animal models and human blood and plasma samples. While this role is sitting in the Discovery unit, we work very closely together with clinical teams. Hence, the role requires end-to-end experimental ownership, including hands-on animal studies, sample collection and processing, execution of functional assays, data analysis, and characterization of drug candidates in hemostasis and thrombosis.
