Behavioral and Motor Assessment in Animal Models
Interns will conduct longitudinal behavioral phenotyping of transgenic or chemically-induced animal models of neurodegeneration using standardized tests including rotarod, Morris water maze, and open field analyses. They will collect kinematic data, track disease progression, and correlate behavioral outcomes with neuropathological findings.

Biomaterial Scaffold Design and Characterization
Interns will design and synthesize biodegradable polymer scaffolds using techniques such as electrospinning, 3D printing, and freeze-drying for organ tissue reconstruction. They will characterize mechanical properties, porosity, and degradation rates using SEM, tensile testing, and mass loss analysis to optimize scaffold performance for specific tissue applications.
Organ Tissue Engineering ResearchView internship →
Cell Culture and Differentiation Protocols
Interns will develop and optimize cell culture methodologies for stem cells and primary organ-specific cells, focusing on differentiation into target cell types such as hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes, or neural cells. They will monitor cell viability, marker expression, and functionality through flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and gene expression analysis.

Organ-on-Chip and In Vitro Model Systems
Interns will design and fabricate microfluidic organ-on-chip devices that replicate organ-level functions including tissue-tissue interactions and barrier properties. They will conduct experiments to validate organ functionality, perform drug testing assays, and analyze cellular responses using live imaging and molecular biomarkers.
Organ Tissue Engineering ResearchView internship →
Immunomodulation and Biocompatibility Assessment
Interns will evaluate immune responses to engineered tissue constructs by studying macrophage activation, cytokine profiling, and foreign body reactions in vitro and in vivo models. They will test immunomodulatory approaches such as coating modifications and immunosuppressive strategies to enhance tissue integration and reduce rejection.
