The Future Talent Program features internships that last up to 12 weeks and will include one or more projects. These opportunities in our Research Division can provide you with great development and a chance to see if we are the right company for your long-term goals. Our company's Research Lab's Discovery and Process Research Departments across multiple geographies are seeking summer interns with a passion for scientific research, strong academic performance, communication skills, and the ability to work on cross-functional teams. We offer opportunities in our state-of-the-art science laboratories to solve fundamental synthetic or biological problems relevant to drug discovery and development, while functioning as fully integrated members of the company project teams. The Chemical Biotechnologies (CBT) group within the Process Research & Development (PRD) Enabling Technologies (ET) Department at our company is seeking motivated candidates to contribute to the invention, development, and innovative implementation of biocatalysts and other biomolecules to advance our company's pipeline and its impact on the scientific community. The candidates will work alongside company scientists in a laboratory environment to impact our drug discovery, development, and manufacture in the three key areas of CBT: Biocatalysis, Protein Engineering, and Microfluidics. The role will involve the development of novel approaches, novel proteins, and enzyme-catalyzed reactions to enable access to biologically active compounds and chemical reactions relevant to the synthesis of drug-like molecules (e.g. small molecule, peptide, and bioconjugate therapeutic candidates). Day-to-day research for the intern will focus on solving key challenges in: (a) biocatalysis, which is the development of novel enzymatic transformations and expansion of biocatalytic toolbox to solve complex chemistry problems, (b) protein engineering, which is the design and engineering of proteins with novel functions, and (c) microfluidics, screening and platform development including laboratory automation, data science, modeling and informatics, and more! Candidates will leverage their chemistry, biology, engineering and/or analytical expertise to solve complex technical problems while working in both chemistry and biology laboratory spaces. The internship will provide an opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge on how our Research & Development division develops and uses technologies to progress medicines and vaccines. The interns will participate in departmental and project team meetings to provide a broad perspective on the drug discovery or development process in the pharmaceutical industry. Interns will also gain skillsets via exposure to practical aspects and day-to-day problems of pharmaceutical research. Interns will be responsible for and trained in methods for accurate electronic notebook recording and safe laboratory practices. In addition, they will have an opportunity to present their research results in both oral and written formats.
