2026 Summer Intern - BioAnalytical Sciences

Genentech • South San Francisco, CA • 4d ago

The Position

Department Summary

The BioAnalytical Sciences Department, within Development Sciences, uses world-class science to help bring life-changing medicines to patients. We foster an innovative and collaborative environment that values and recognizes a diversity of contributions. You will gain hands-on lab experience, develop professional skills, and have the opportunity to network and learn from professionals in the industry. BAS has several groups working on preclinical and clinical programs developing bioanalytical assays with a variety of cutting edge technologies including:

Ligand-binding Assays: Have you ever wondered how medicines are measured in patient blood or other biological samples collected during a clinical trial? Bioanalytical assays specifically measure the protein drug molecule out of the thousands of different molecules present in blood. You may test a range of antibodies to design and develop Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) or other @types of immunoassays and help understand pharmacokinetics (PK), biomarkers, or immunogenicity of a drug being tested in an non clinical (animal) or a clinical study.

Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS): Are you interested in detecting drug molecules in biological samples and also characterizing protein structures and sequences? You may design immunoaffinity LC-MS assays based on molecular separations, enzymatic digestions and peptide analysis to help understand PK, biomarkers, metabolism or proteomics for a drug being tested in different biological matrices. Mass spectrometry experience is desired for some advanced projects.

Cell Biology: Do you want to see how the cells in the body react to drugs or act on the drugs? You may investigate these biological questions using cell-based assays such as cellular internalization and processing, high content imaging, neutralizing antibody (NAb) assay or antibody effector function assays. Your work will consist in the development of cell-based assays and will utilize cell culture and flow cytometry. Confocal imaging expertise is desired for some advanced projects.

The internship position is located in South San Francisco, on-site.

The Opportunity

You will lead a project over the course of 12 weeks under the mentorship of an intern manager
