Summer-Fall 2026 Co-Op - Cell Therapy and Immuno-oncology
**Job Title:** Summer-Fall 2026 Co-Op - Cell Therapy and Immuno-oncology **Location:** Cambridge, MA **About Sanofi:** We’re an R&D-driven, AI-powered biopharma company committed to improving people’s lives and delivering compelling growth. Our deep understanding of the immune system – and innovative pipeline – enables us to invent medicines and vaccines that treat and protect millions of people around the world. Together, we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. **About the Job** We re-engineer immune cells to selectively kill the tumor cells in cancer patients. Immune cells will function as living drugs and in favorable situations expand and exert a strong anti-tumor response. Similarly, they are bound by the same laws that endogenous human cells are, such as exhaustion by tumor-produced factors, abnormal tumor vessels, and other obstacles that a suppressive tumor microenvironment poses. We try to remove barriers to the success of cell-based therapies in our group. The cell therapy Co-op will work hands-on in the lab in developing assays and techniques to mimic the tumor microenvironment and testing antibodies and biomaterials (e.g., nanoparticles) that alter the immune system in favor of tumor cell eradication. As part of a newly established team, the Co-op will have the opportunity to make significant contributions to the research and development on a daily basis. The ability to learn quickly, work on multiple assignments, and effectively document scientific data are key components of the role. **Main Responsibilities:** + Maintain cancer cell lines in culture, including routine passaging of cells and maintenance of research cell banks + Isolate primary immune cells from Whole blood or leukopaks + Plan and execute in vitro experiments, including (a) testing nanoparticle-based formulations in whole blood or isolated immune cells, (b) analysis using flow cytometry, (c) measuring cytokine release using ELISA assays + Carefully record findings using electronic laboratory notebooks + Write SOPs in full detail to ensure reproducibility of the work + Communicate results to team members and participate in meetings + Maintain laboratory equipment + Perform additional tasks to support research and development as the scope of the job changes as necessitated by growth of the team **About You** **Basic Qualifications:** + Currentlyenrolled andpursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in biology, chemistry, immunology, pharmaceutical Sciences, bioengineering, biomaterials, biochemistry, or related fieldat an accredited4-yearcollege oruniversitywiththe expectation that you will complete yourcurrent degreebytheSpring of 2028 + Must be enrolled in an accredited college or university throughout the duration of the co-op/internship + Must be able torelocateto the office location and work 40hrs/week, Monday-Friday, for the full duration of the co-op/internship + **Must be permanently authorized to work in the U.S. and not require sponsorship of an employment visa (e.g., H-1B or green card) at the time of application or in the future.
