Co-op, Cell Culture Development
About The Position
This application is for a 6-month student role from July - December 2026. Resume review begins in January 202. Cell Culture Development works to create high quality, robust processes that are manufacturing-ready. We use carefully designed experiments to target areas for improvement identified from previous biological process knowledge/experience. We balance understanding/fundamental science with efficiency to make risk-based decisions that ensure safety/success of any process. Members of this team have the opportunity to contribute directly to current challenges in the group. While performing diverse, hands-on experiments, an individual will learn about a wide variety of research areas, including bioprocess development, process analytical technology, and control strategy.
