Exploratory Technology Intern

The Exploratory Technology Intern will gain hands-on exposure to cutting-edge research within a leading cell therapy organization. Working alongside experienced and highly accomplished scientists, the intern will learn how innovative cell therapy products are designed, engineered, and developed within the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to laboratory and project-based learning, the intern will participate in journal clubs and group discussions, providing further opportunities to explore scientific literature and engage with ongoing research initiatives.

Key responsibilities include performing laboratory experiments under the guidance and supervision of the assigned mentor, preparing experimental plans, maintaining accurate laboratory records, and contributing to study reports with mentor oversight. The intern will also present research progress and findings during lunch-and-learn sessions, lab meetings, and the final internship presentation. Selection will be based on technical competency, motivation, and professional attributes, with key considerations including proficiency in basic wet-lab skills, willingness to learn advanced techniques, and ability to follow guidance while maintaining accurate records.

Applicants must be undergraduate students majoring in biology, biomedicine, bioengineering, or a related area. Fundamental wet-lab skills, including cell culture, cell passaging, flow cytometry, and basic molecular biology techniques, are required. Experience with assays such as ELISA, cytokine profiling using MSD, or ddPCR is preferred. The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, passionate about scientific research and drug development, and motivated to pursue a long-term career in this field. Diligence, reliability, and honesty, with the ability to take ownership of assigned tasks and consistently meet expectations, are essential qualities.
