Each intern will have their own project developed jointly with their mentor and will be expected to present the results of their work to their project teams, the Oncology or Immunology Senior Leadership Team (SLT), and as a poster/abstract at the research symposium at the end of the internship. The goal of this internship program is to provide undergraduate and graduate students with experience in working in a large pharmaceutical RD setting and to gain an understanding of the science and process of novel drug development. The intern will have the opportunity to learn new aspects of disease biology and ways to identify novel therapeutics/drug targets and/or determine the mechanism of action behind emerging drugs. Students will also receive training on the technology platforms (e.g., ELISA, PCR, DNA sequencing, flow cytometry, cell culture, cell-based functional assays, computational approaches such as single-cell RNA-seq analysis) and analytical methods required for their project. Students will receive training on experimental planning and execution, as well as receive guidance on how to troubleshoot experiments relative to their summer project.
