We work to precisely address disease-causing mechanisms in muscle tissue and to derive therapeutic approaches that are clinically applicable in the long term. Our team combines scientific depth with a clear translational ambition and a consistent focus on patients. Our mission is to bring effective and safe therapies for people with severe muscular diseases into application. Our research must be reproducible, scalable, and clinically relevant.</span></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Role Description</strong></p><p><span>For our laboratory in the Co.Lab on the Bayer AG campus in Berlin-Wedding, we are looking for a driven and scientifically rigorous Research Scientist who wants to build something real by bringing science all the way to the patient.
