As an intern, you will move beyond academic theory to achieve real-world impact by actively synthesising novel, small-molecule candidates for live drug discovery projects within our pRED labs. This hands-on experience allows you to master cutting-edge organic chemistry synthetic methods and purification technologies. Your practical work is complemented by a specialised tutorial program designed to deepen your understanding of medicinal chemistry and sharpen essential soft skills, such as scientific presentation.
You will present your research results to your peers and the department via presentation and poster sessions, and will attend an education program which aims at strengthening your synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry skills.
