Attività
- As a member of the Global Drug Substance Development, you will work with a group of motivated scientists who are committed to developing and implementing solutions to support the production of new biological therapeutics.
- Within this group, your mission will focus on understanding cell metabolism and developing a perfusion platform process, especially medium improvement in deep well plates and/or bioreactors ranging from 250 mL.
- You will review the current state of knowledge in cell metabolism, medium development and propose/develop new chemical formulations for media, testing them for performance in deep well plates and/or bioreactors.
- You will program and use robotic platforms to perform screening of various medium formulations and evaluate their performance in cell culture.
- You will be trained to work independently in the lab, including cell thawing, cell expansion, working under laminar flow hoods, and in-process control.
- You will actively participate in experimental design. Additionally, you will analyze and present your data in project discussions and write a comprehensive report to conclude your internship.
Requisiti principali
- Master/engineer student in biotechnology or other related fields
- Highly motivated and autonomous
- Ability to conceptualize, solve complex challenges, and communicate about your project
- Great team spirit
- Previous experience in cell culture/aseptic handling is a plus
- Good written and oral knowledge in English, French is a plus
