The Position Shape the future of therapeutic innovation with nextu2011generation histopathology! Join a cutting-edge research team advancing drug target and therapeutic concept validation through advanced histopathology. As a Postdoctoral Scientist, you will establish IHC- and IF- based readouts to characterize novel targets, assess their translation in disease-relevant animal models as well as ex-vivo/in-vitro models and gain mechanistic insight into novel therapeutic concepts in early research. This role offers the opportunity to join a team of pathology and AI specialists and to collaborate with multidisciplinary experts that contribute to transformative approaches in drug discovery within a dynamic pharmaceutical research environment. Ready to push the boundaries of science? Apply now and become part of our innovation-driven team! Tasks & responsibilities In your new role, you will establish, optimize and validate workflows to enable automated, large-scale histopathology readouts in disease-relevant in vivo and in vitro models. In this context, you will combine these methods with quantitative and AI-based image analysis to increase sensitivity, supporting model selection and treatment efficacy readouts. You will select, test and qualify antibodies to enable single- or multiplex tissue stains in combination with ISH across species. While your focus will be on cardiovascular and metabolic indications, your role will encompass a diverse range of therapeutic area You will work in a multidisciplinary and international team of scientists Moreover, you will be part of Boehringeru2019s global postdoctoral program and will have the opportunity to showcase your research at various internal and external scientific meetings.
