This is Us. This is Gothenburg
We conduct research into the entire lifecycle of a medicine, from idea generation through discovery research to global commercialisation and product maintenance. We collaborate with others around the globe, sharing resources and ideas in order to empower science on our core therapy areas.
From idea to new medicine
Our teams in Gothenburg have broad scientific expertise and capabilities and work across the entire life-cycle of our medicines.
Our people
Passionate about what science can do
"At AstraZeneca, science and patients are always in focus. As a scientist I love being able to work with people from different disciplines to turn scientific ideas into new medicines for patients in need."
Inspiring working environment (Social Areas)
At AstraZeneca Gothenburg, we want to foster a working environment that nurtures, collaboration, openness and innovation. We have created space for meetings, socialising and relaxation, where spontaneous meetings can give birth to new innovations. The unexpected ideas or thoughts that can come from a chat over something as simple as a cup of coffee. The Coffee Lab was purposely built to facilitate that kind of exchange.
