2027 Summer Co Op IVB Cell Biology Cambridge MA
About The Position
Sanofi is seeking a highly motivated Summer Co-op to join its IVB Cell Biology team in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for six months. The co-op will combine CRISPR and Cell Painting techniques to investigate inflammatory pathway mechanisms. Cell Painting is a high-content multiplexed imaging assay that captures morphological cell fingerprints across five fluorescent channels: nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, actin/Golgi, and nucleoli. The work combines this assay with CRISPR-based gene perturbations to build an unbiased phenotypic screening platform and visualize morphological changes in immune cells resulting from genetic loss-of-function mutants without pre-specifying a readout. The role offers mentorship, collaborative teams, access to tools and digital innovation, and the opportunity to contribute to projects related to healthcare. The co-op is based onsite in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and requires 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, for the full six-month duration. The hourly salary range is $29–$35, with compensation determined based on demonstrated experience.
Requirements
- Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related Life Sciences field.
- Must be permanently authorized to work in the United States and must not require employment visa sponsorship at the time of application or in the future.
- Must be enrolled in an accredited college or university throughout the co-op/internship.
- Must be able to relocate to the office location and work 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, for the full duration of the co-op/internship.
Responsibilities
- Merge CRISPR and Cell Painting techniques to investigate inflammatory pathway mechanisms.
- Apply Cell Painting, a high-content multiplexed imaging assay, to capture morphological cell fingerprints across five fluorescent channels: nucleus, ER, mitochondria, actin/Golgi, and nucleoli.
