Showing 13–24 of 45 internship topics
Immune Response Analysis and B Cell Biology
Interns will investigate B cell activation, differentiation, and antibody class switching using cell culture, immunofluorescence, and qPCR techniques. They will analyze immune responses to vaccines or pathogens through serological assays and lymphocyte profiling.
Immunology Antibody Development ResearchView internship →
High-Throughput Antibody Screening and Selection
Interns will employ phage display, yeast display, or ribosome display technologies to screen large antibody libraries for novel binders against disease-relevant targets. They will perform iterative rounds of selection and characterization to identify lead candidates.
Immunology Antibody Development ResearchView internship →
Therapeutic Antibody Function and In Vitro Efficacy Testing
Interns will evaluate antibody mechanisms of action including complement-dependent cytotoxicity, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and target neutralization using specialized assays. They will conduct cell-based and biochemical studies to assess therapeutic potential against disease models.
Immunology Antibody Development ResearchView internship →
Pluripotent Stem Cell Culture and Characterization
Interns will learn standard protocols for maintaining embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) cultures, including passaging techniques, quality control assays, and characterization methods such as flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. This foundational work provides hands-on experience with the basic tools required for all downstream differentiation studies.
Stem Cell Differentiation ResearchView internship →
Directed Differentiation Pathway Development
Interns will design and optimize protocols for differentiating stem cells into specific cell lineages such as cardiomyocytes, neurons, or pancreatic beta cells. This involves testing various growth factor combinations, culture conditions, and small molecule treatments while monitoring differentiation efficiency through molecular markers.
Stem Cell Differentiation ResearchView internship →
Gene Expression Analysis in Stem Cell Differentiation
Interns will perform quantitative PCR, RNA-sequencing, and transcriptomic analysis to track gene expression changes during stem cell differentiation stages. This computational and wet-lab work provides insights into the molecular mechanisms driving cell fate decisions and lineage specification.
Stem Cell Differentiation ResearchView internship →
Functional Assessment of Differentiated Cell Populations
Interns will conduct assays to validate the functionality of differentiated cells, including patch-clamp electrophysiology for neurons, contractility measurements for cardiomyocytes, and glucose responsiveness for beta cells. These studies confirm that differentiated cells possess the expected physiological properties.
Stem Cell Differentiation ResearchView internship →
Organoid Development and Three-Dimensional Tissue Engineering
Interns will work on generating self-organizing three-dimensional structures (organoids) from stem cells, incorporating techniques such as hanging drop cultures, microfluidic devices, and biomaterial scaffolds. This advanced research area bridges traditional 2D differentiation with in vivo-like tissue complexity relevant to disease modeling and regenerative medicine.
Stem Cell Differentiation ResearchView internship →
Functional MRI Data Processing and Analysis
Interns will learn to preprocess and analyze fMRI datasets using tools like SPM, FSL, or AFNI to identify brain activation patterns during cognitive tasks. They will work on image registration, motion correction, and statistical mapping to understand neural correlates of behavior and cognition.
Neurobiology Brain Imaging ResearchView internship →
Structural Brain Imaging and Volumetric Analysis
Interns will conduct segmentation and quantitative analysis of brain structures using T1-weighted MRI scans to measure cortical thickness, white matter integrity, and regional brain volumes. This work involves manual tracing, automated software pipelines, and statistical comparison across patient and control groups.
Neurobiology Brain Imaging ResearchView internship →
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and White Matter Tractography
Interns will process diffusion-weighted imaging data to reconstruct white matter fiber tracts and analyze connectivity patterns between brain regions. They will learn fiber tracking algorithms and interpret metrics like fractional anisotropy to study neural pathways in healthy and diseased brains.
Neurobiology Brain Imaging ResearchView internship →
PET Imaging Data Acquisition and Quantification
Interns will assist in PET scan protocols, image reconstruction, and quantitative analysis of radioisotope uptake to investigate neurochemical dysfunction in neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. They will learn kinetic modeling and standardized uptake value calculations.
