Start date: April 2025
Duration: 6 Months
Location: Aubonne, Switzerland
Your role:
This 6-month internship offers Master's thesis students the opportunity to work on a project focused on leveraging bioprocess data to enhance understanding, develop mathematical models, and optimize processes involved in the production of complex proteins using CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells. These bioprocesses are critical for manufacturing high-value biological products, such as therapeutic proteins.
The student will analyze collected process data to gain insights into key parameters influencing protein production, build mathematical or machine learning models, and propose optimization strategies to improve yield, efficiency, and process robustness. To achieve this, a combination of statistical analysis, explicit mathematical modeling, and advanced data science approaches will be employed. This internship provides an exciting opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to a highly impactful area in biotechnology and biomanufacturing.
