R&D Intern

The R&D Intern will support research activities focused on cellular therapy and CAR-T technology. This role involves analyzing the cytotoxic potential of CAR-T cells and other immune cells, performing cytokine analysis, and correlating donor variability. The intern will also assist in evaluating T cells generated with in-vivo CAR platforms and contribute to data analysis and reporting.

Key responsibilities include performing cytotoxicity assays and cytokine analysis using MSD assays, analyzing CAR-T cells, macrophages, and other immune cells for cytotoxic potential, correlating cytotoxicity data across multiple donors, supporting in-vivo CAR platform evaluations, analyzing experimental data, preparing reports for the manager and team, and maintaining accurate laboratory records while following standard operating procedures.

Candidates should be college students (BS, MS, or PhD) in Life Science, Biomedical Science, Biotechnology, Cell Science, Biology, Virology, Molecular Biology, or related STEM fields. Desired academic grade levels include Junior, Senior, or Graduate Student. An interest in cellular therapy and immunotherapy is essential. Knowledge of CAR-T, virus design, or immune cell assays is preferred. The role requires a commitment to lab bench work (70%) and desk work (30%), along with strong communication and organizational skills.

This internship offers hands-on experience in CAR-T cell culture and transduction, exposure to in-vivo CAR platform development, and an understanding of immunotherapy approaches and assay techniques. It provides an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in a collaborative environment, enhancing both technical skills and scientific knowledge.
