At Novo Nordisk, we share a passion for changing patients’ lives, and we are always looking for talented individuals who want to join us in this effort. Our internships provide exciting learning opportunities for students who bring new ways of thinking to our company.
About the department
The department works with production of mammalian cell banks and the development of cultivation processes for mammalian cells. The Mammalian Cell Banking team works with the production of cell banks for both internal use in the department and development business area as well as for our production business area.
In the Bioreactor team we are working with different process types - batch, fed-batch and continuous processes - and strive for constant optimization of these processes right from the start of the inoculation train to the last step in the production bioreactor. This work is performed across scales from shaker flask experiments up to pilot scale bioreactors. In close collaboration with key internal stakeholders in our Research Unit as well as other business areas we work on establishing robust and reliable processes.
The job
You get the opportunity to join a high performing team in Hillerød, Denmark, responsible for the production of mammalian cell banks. The cell banks are used within whole NN for production of API for TOX and clinical studies as well as in late stage projects. This means that you have the opportunity to work with a variety of stakeholder with different mindsets. You will support the team and will gain insight into Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), which is the key for development and production of drugs. Be a part of our team in day-to-day business processes and tasks – preparation and review of documents as well as hands-on experience in e.g. lab work and environmental monitoring. In this role you will perform experiments, help to develop/ensure timely delivery of our products, work with team members on writing and reviewing documents, and assist with optimizing our daily procedures.
Qualifications
We are looking for an intern who is curious and passionate about biology. You are currently studying on your master’s degree in pharmacy, biology, bioengineering or other relevant field. General knowledge of cell biology and key methodologies (database analysis, practical experiments in the lab and microbiology) is preferred. We expect candidates to be service minded, curious to learn something and bring a can-do attitude. Fluency in both oral and written English, sound personal judgment and excellent interpersonal skills are required.
You are an outgoing person with a personal drive and dedication. You have professional and personal impact that is reflected in your desire to take initiative and delivery the right quality. In addition, you thrive in a busy environment and bring a can-do attitude and a healthy sense of humour to your work – even when the pressure is on. Finally, you must have strong work ethic and willingness to take responsibility for your own learning.
