Job description

Research Intern - Cell Biology

  • Part-time

  • 430 E 29th Street, New York, NY


About Waypoint Bio:

Waypoint Bio is a venture-backed biotech startup building the next generation of cell therapies for solid tumors. Joining our team as a research intern means working with a group of innovative and collaborative scientists who share the mission of bringing the promise of immune cell therapy to all cancer patients.


Traditional cell therapy development faces a trade-off between in vitro approaches that are fast but inaccurate, and in vivo approaches that are accurate but slow and expensive. Waypoint has built a proprietary spatial biology & machine learning platform that enables pooled cell therapy screens in vivo - profiling how hundreds of designs affect a solid tumor in a single mouse, while measuring each design's performance across distinct clinically relevant parameters. This high-throughput approach compresses years of work into a single experiment by achieving >100x the throughput of conventional animal experiments.



Position Summary:

We are seeking a highly organized and enthusiastic research intern who is motivated to develop scientific knowledge and skills while providing extensive technical support. In this role, you will join our team to contribute to spatial biology and microscopy R&D at our lab at the Alexandria Center for Life Science in New York (430 E 29th St).

  • Develop and write scientific protocols, analyze data, and communicate experimental results
  • Keep detailed scientific records in an electronic lab notebook and actively contribute to the organization & general housekeeping of the lab
  • Provide conceptual input on experimental design and interpretation in a team setting
