2027 Summer Co Op IVB Cell Biology Cambridge MA

Sanofi • Cambridge, MA

6d • $29 - $35 • Onsite

About The Position

Sanofi is seeking a highly motivated Summer Co-op to join its IVB Cell Biology team in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The role focuses on combining CRISPR gene perturbations with Cell Painting, a high-content multiplexed imaging assay that captures morphological cell fingerprints across five fluorescent channels: nucleus, ER, mitochondria, actin/Golgi, and nucleoli. The co-op will help build an unbiased phenotypic screening platform to investigate inflammatory pathway mechanisms and visualize morphological changes in immune cells resulting from genetic loss-of-function mutants without pre-specifying a readout.

The position lasts six months and requires relocation to the office location and availability to work 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, for the full duration. Participants receive mentoring and guidance while contributing to real projects and developing their skills in a collaborative team.

Requirements

• Be pursuing a bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related Life Sciences field.
• Be permanently authorized to work in the U.S. without requiring employment visa sponsorship at the time of application or in the future.
• Be enrolled in an accredited college or university throughout the duration of the co-op/internship.
• 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 that captures morphological cell fingerprints across five fluorescent channels: nucleus, ER, mitochondria, actin/Golgi, and nucleoli.
• Combine Cell Painting with CRISPR-based gene perturbations to build an unbiased phenotypic screening platform.
• Visualize morphological changes in immune cells resulting from genetic loss-of-function mutants without pre-specifying a readout.

Benefits

• Mentoring and guidance from inspirational leaders.
• Access to apprenticeships, internships, graduate programs, and international experiences.
• Access to the latest tools and digital innovation.
• Continuous learning opportunities.
