Scientific excellence is an integral part of any pharmaceutical company’s success. By paying attention to staff training and development at all levels, it is possible to embed vital life-long skills and behaviours into the scientists and professionals responsible for discovering and developing new medicines to treat patients.
MedImmune is the global biologics R&D arm of AstraZeneca and is committed to scientific innovation and medical progress. Our state-of-the-art facilities at Granta Park are home to over 550 members of the 2,500-strong global MedImmune team. To support its ambitions to help save lives and improve people’s health, MedImmune works hard to ensure that all employees, across all functions, are given the training they need to excel in their roles and work alongside their colleagues. MedImmune’s Cambridge site is therefore very pleased that it has recently been awarded Gold Standard Status for Training in Life Sciences by Cogent, the organisation responsible for skills in the life sciences sector and connected to government policies in this area.
