Job description
Systematic evaluation of different approaches for modelling inhaled particle deposition in the lung

Are you currently pursuing a master’s degree with a burning interest in computational fluid dynamics and mathemathical modelling? Then this master’s thesis project at AstraZeneca might be of interest to you!

Thesis project: 30 credits
Student location: AstraZeneca, Gothenburg, Sweden
Start: January 2022

A focus for AstraZeneca Gothenburg is to develop inhaled drugs for the treatment of respiratory diseases such as asthma. A critical component in this work is to predict the deposition pattern of inhaled particles (i.e. where particles land following inhalation). This provides the initial conditions for computational models used for spatio-temporal predictions of inhaled drug concentrations in the lung. Furthermore, since all drug particles leaving an inhaler will not deposit in the lung, mathematical models are used to estimate the lung deposited dose.

AstraZeneca is a global, innovation-driven biopharmaceutical business that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of prescription medicines for some of the world’s most serious diseases. But we're more than one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies. At AstraZeneca, we're proud to have a unique workplace culture that inspires innovation and collaboration. Here, employees are empowered to express diverse perspectives - and are made to feel valued, energized and rewarded for their ideas and creativity.

Responsibilities
This project aims at comparing how two different model approaches, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and typical-path models, predict the regional drug deposition, and how this subsequently influences spatial predictions of pulmonary drug concentrations. Responsibilities include CAD-modelling in appopriate software, CFD-modelling in OpenFOAM and implementation of typical-path models in an appropriate language (e.g. Matlab, Python, R).

The project will also include a systematic comparison of different equations describing deposition by inertial impaction in typical-path models. Furthermore, if time permits, an investigation of improvements to the poor spatial resolution of typical-path models driven by the results from the CFD is of high interest. 

The work is to be conducted from January to June 2022, or as agreed with the student.

Qualifications
Essential Requirements
Experience with computational fluid dynamics
Scientific programming experience, e.g. MATLAB, Python or R
Pursuing a master’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline  

Desirable Requirements
Understanding of the discrete element method 
Experience in implementing and working with numerical methods
Experience with CAD modelling
Experience in OpenFOAM


Application
Randstad Life Sciences is cooperating with AstraZeneca in this recruitment process. We only handle applications sent through Randstad’s website.

All chosen candidates need to pass a background check and an alcohol and drug test before starting the project.

Deadline for application: 2021-11-07

Job description
Replacing Site-Based Exercise Tests with Wearable Activity Monitors
Master Thesis: 30 credits

key words: Wearables in Clinical Trials, Accelerometery, Exercise Test, Digital Health.

Are you passionate about data science and machine learning and want to apply these skills to impact our digital health strategy? In this project you will model data collected from wearable devices to make predictions of patient clinical outcomes.   
You will be working in the data science team supporting digital health implementation, a part of the Data Science & Artificial Intelligence (DS&AI;) R&D organisation playing a key role in getting medicines to patients

At AstraZeneca we turn ideas into life changing medicines and strive to continuously meet the unmet needs of patients worldwide. Working here means being entrepreneurial, thinking big and working together to make the impossible a reality. If you are swift to action, confident to lead, willing to collaborate, and curious about what science can do, then you’re our kind of person.

Responsibilities
Currently, the great majority of clinical trials data is recorded at the clinic. Moving measurements outside the clinic promises improvements in patient availability and enrolment as well as reducing patient drop out. This would also lead to significantly more cost-effective trials. Further, the use of wearable activity track monitors and physiological measurements devices offer improved patient monitoring. This way the full movie of the patient status is recorded instead of just few photos taken at hospital visits. To advance in the integration of wearables in clinical trials we need to understand how to interpret their data from a clinical perspective and understand how sensor steams correspond to established measures performed on-site.

The candidate would be modelling physical activity (PA), measured through wearable sensors, and patient reported outcomes (PRO) data in order to predict functional capacity of patients, as measured by cycle endurance test at the clinic. More specifically, the candidate will implement longitudinal data pipelines and supervised machine learning models using hourly summaries of physical activity derived metrics, as well as patients’ electronic questionnaires data. This work is a post-hoc analysis of the ACTIVATE trial.

ACTIVATE is a Phase IV, 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of aclidinium/formoterol on hyperinflation, exercise capacity, and physical activity in patients with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is a multicentre trial with 267 randomized patients. 
The project will be supervised in a data science team supporting digital implementation in R&D at AstraZeneca.



Qualifications
