ABOUT LGC AXOLABS:
Axolabs specialises in a new class of drugs whose active ingredients are chemically derived from DNA or RNA. They are called oligonucleotide or nucleic acid therapeutics. We use our many years of expertise to help our clients make them a success. Some of these drugs have already been approved and are being used successfully against diseases that were previously untreatable in some cases. New drugs from this class are added every year.
We believe in Science for a Safer World and are currently seeking candidates who are up for the challenge of operating in a high-growth, purpose-driven organization. LGC Axolabs is located in Petaluma, US, Kulmbach and Berlin, Germany.
