Context

Organs on Chip, or microphysiological systems (MPS), have the potential to increase the speed of discovery of new treatments and replace animal models. At Cherry Biotech we developed a new device, CubiX, that controls the physical parameters of the cellular environment.

Mission

In our biological facility a relevant part of the work is represented by service activities. In this context you will learn how to build complex and advanced organs-on-chip models and contribute to generate high quality experiments and reports.

Your main tasks during the internship:

●        Assist and perform experiments in a quality control setting

●        Generate, analyze and interpret data

●        Communicate results by reports and oral presentations

●        Participate in other lab activities

Main skills expected to be acquired at the end of the Cherry experience:

●        Develop a good theoretical and practical knowledge about advanced in vitro models and MPS (micro physiological systems)

●        Perform experiment in a quality control and digitalized laboratory

●        Improve your biology technical skills

●        Understand the start-up ecosystem

●        Work as a team player in interdisciplinary fields

●        Students enrolled in Cellular Biology/Biotechnology/biomedical engineering

●        Previous experience(s) in biology laboratory is highly appreciated but not mandatory

●        Fluent English speaker and good writing skills mandatory

●        Rigorous, meticulous and well organized

●        Perseverant and flexible
