[Bioundgrd] Fwd: Summer Industrial Internships in Bioengineering

[Stu Dietz]

>Dear Student,
>
>I am pleased to let you know of 3 summer internships that are being created
>for MIT students, following conversations with colleagues (and alumni) at
>BiogenIdec, Genzyme and TKT Therapies, all located in Mass.
>
>The first internship is suitable for students with little biological knowledge
>while the other 2 require basic knowledge of cell culture or fermentation. If
>you are interested to be considered for these positions, please send me a copy
>of your resume ASAP (jhamel at mit.edu).
>
>Internship 1: BiogenIdec, Cambridge, MA
>This internship is open to anyone with good computer skills and basic statistics for a project aiming to develop mathematical models of reactors.
>
>Perhaps a student double majoring in biology and math or minoring in math would be a good candidate for the position.
>
>Internship 2: Genzyme Corp., Framingham, MA
>This position requires knowledge of cell culture. The candidate will work in a
>bioengineering group and will have an opportunity to learn and work with
>bioreactors. Lab experience (e.g. 5.310 or 7.02 or UROP or equivalent) and basic biology knowledge (e.g. 7.05 or 5.07 or 7.06 or equivalent) would be helpful.
>
>Because public transportation does not provide convenient transit to Framingham, the company is asking that the candidate has access to a car.
>
>Internship 3: TKT Therapies, Cambridge (7 min walk from MIT)
>This is the 3rd internship that TKT is creating for us. This position requires
>knowledge of cell culture. Experience with bioreactors would be a plus. The
>candidate will work in a bioprocess engineering group and will have an
>opportunity to learn and work with bioreactors for the culture of human cells.
>Lab experience (e.g. 5.310 or 7.02 or UROP or equivalent) and basic biology
>knowledge (e.g. 7.05 or 5.07 or 7.06 or equivalent) would be helpful.
>
>Yours,
>Jean-Francois Hamel
>Lecturer and Associate Industrial Liaison
>Chemical Engineering Department
