The Position

Your department

Have you ever wondered how therapeutic proteins are developed? And did you know that Roche covers the entire value chain of such medicines at Europe's largest biotech site in Penzberg? The department Cell Technologies is part of Large Molecule Research (LMR) and pharma research and early development (pRED). This is where the technical development of the most promising candidates for new drugs begins. Specifically, we at the cell technologies department develop new cell lines for the production of antibody and recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) products.

Your tasks

• During your internship, you will be part of a dynamic team of highly motivated scientists and will learn and apply cutting-edge technologies for drug and cell line development.

• You will design and build new genetic elements and vectors (promoters, gene switches) for the expression of therapeutic molecules and test them (by e.g. NGS) in a production setting.

• You will have the opportunity to implement new workflows and improve existing methods for production, purification and characterization.

• You will also contribute to the development and implementation of new technologies inspired by synthetic biology approaches. Using state-of-the-art bioinformatics, you will learn from the results and present your findings to the group.
