Who we are
The Basel Medicinal Chemistry group is an integral part of the Roche Drug Discovery engine and represents how we innovate healthcare through the invention of differentiated medicines for treating diseases for unmet medical needs. This 12 month internship program integrates seamlessly into University degree programs and therefore we offer the most talented chemistry students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in Synthetic and Medicinal Chemistry.
During the internship you will:
- be led by a chemistry laboratory head or senior laboratory associate and be part of a team involved in lead generation and/or lead optimization projects synthesizing novel molecules for innovative biological targets
- conduct laboratory research and work in a small team composed of 1 – 3 research associates to become experienced in the use of modern organic chemistry synthetic methods and purification technologies
- develop structure activity and structure property relationships via analyzing computed and measured multi-dimensional optimization parameters
- use electronic laboratory notebooks to accurately document your research results
- receive complementary education with an especially tailored tuition program through which you will deepen your understanding in organic and medicinal chemistry and improve your presentation skills
Those demonstrating excellence in these fields will also be invited to apply for an EFMC-Roche studentship award.
