Careers in Research and Development
At Zentiva, we are committed to R&D that drives innovation and delivers high-quality, affordable medicines.
R&D for affordable innovation
As a leading manufacturer of generics, we offer a wide range of INN (International Non-proprietary Name) and branded generics, specialty products, and consumer healthcare solutions.
The R&D team actively manages the lifecycle of active pharmaceutical ingredients, enabling us to launch products immediately after the loss of exclusivity while driving innovation in drug formulation, with a focus on bioequivalent and value-added medicines.
Where science meets purpose
At Zentiva R&D, our work is driven by hundreds of dedicated scientists, pharmacists, and innovators, empowered by a strong network of academic, biotech, and digital partners across Europe. Our internal expertise is further strengthened by key collaborations - including the flagship PARC (The Pharmaceutical Applied Research Centre) programme and our Open Innovation Programme.
Together, we unite scientific excellence with creativity and bold thinking to deliver high-quality, affordable medicines that make a real difference in the lives of millions of patients.
We offer a chance to participate in the development of generic drugs from the beginning to the end and the opportunity to clearly see the results of your work. When you join Zentiva R&D, you become part of a collaborative, forward-thinking community that’s driving meaningful projects.
