The Position

Your department and team

In Roche’s Pharmaceutical Research and Early Development organization (pRED), we make transformative medicines for patients in order to tackle some of the world’s toughest unmet healthcare needs.

At pRED, we are united by our mission to transform science into medicines.

Together, we create a culture defined by curiosity, responsibility and humility, where our talented people are empowered and inspired to bring forward extraordinary life-changing innovation at speed.

This position is located in Molecular Characterization, a department within Large Molecule Research, where we discover and develop novel therapeutic antibodies and next generation biologics.

Our ambition is to deliver such molecules to patients with game-changing clinical benefits.

We are offering an opportunity for an intern (m/f/d) in the Department of Functional Characterization to work with multidisciplinary teams of associates/scientists dedicated to the in-depth characterization of complex biologics.

This project based internship in the field of neurodegenerative diseases, involves the application of protein-protein interaction methods, especially surface plasmon resonance (Biacore) and ELISA.

Your tasks and responsibilities


* Development and application of cell-free protein-protein or protein-ligand interaction methods, especially surface plasmon resonance (Biacore) and ELISA, for the functional characterization of therapeutic protein drugs.


* Interpretation of kinetic and affinity data and transfer of results to your supervisor.


* Support interdisciplinary teams within the unit of Molecule Characterization.


* Contribution to the establishment/adaption of new protocols.


* Participating in bringing new molecules to the patients.

Your profile


* You are currently enrolled at a university, preferably in courses like Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology or you are in a gap-year between degrees (bachelor and master).


* You are excited about learning new techniques, data processing, evaluation, and discussing results.


* You are willing to perform wet lab experiments and eager to establish new techniques for studying protein-protein interactions.


* You are a highly motivated person, a strong team player, but capable of working independently where necessary.


* Good English skills (written and spoken) are necessary.
