2027 Future Talent Program – Regulated Bioanalytical Sciences – Intern
About The Position
The Future Talent Program features internships that last up to 12 weeks and will include one or more projects. These opportunities in our Research and Development Division can provide you with great development and a chance to see if we are the right company for your long-term goals. Our Regulated Bioanalytical Sciences group supports the development, validation, and implementation of assays used to evaluate vaccine and biologic candidates in clinical studies. The successful candidate will contribute to innovative projects that advance bioanalytical capabilities through laboratory experimentation, data analytics, and automation. This internship provides an opportunity to work alongside scientists supporting global clinical development programs while gaining experience in regulated environments and modern bioanalytical technologies. The intern will support efforts to improve efficiency, reproducibility, and data-driven decision making using the FluoroSpot assay. The primary role will be to learn, perform, and develop assays with an emphasis on T-cell immunology methodologies (e.g., FluoroSpot) critical for early vaccine programs.
