IN VITRO TOXICOLOGY SCIENTIST/SPECIALIST– DEPARTMENT OF EXPLORATORY TOXICOLOGY

As a new colleague in the Department of Exploratory Toxicology, you will join a team of experts who provide toxicological support to all drug research projects at Lundbeck, from the earliest inception of innovative targets to drug candidate selection. Our main task is to evaluate the mechanisms and risks of toxicity for new drug candidates, using a combination of in-house in vitro and in vivo methods, as well as in silico tools when appropriate, and conducting studies at contract research laboratories together with external collaborators. We collaborate closely with research project teams, where we contribute with our toxicological knowledge and advice, to ensure the best possible safety of new medicines for people with brain diseases.
