Biotech Drug Development: Where Scientific Curiosity and Innovation Meet

Join Biogen Idec’s team of scientists and create cutting-edge curriculum materials featuring hands-on exercises that enable students to understand the biological, engineering and quality aspects of molecules related to the manufacturing of improved and effective drugs.

You will have unparalleled access to cutting-edge drug development and manufacturing facilities as you collaborate with Biogen Idec’s team of scientists to develop classroom curriculum supporting students’ knowledge and understanding of bio-pharmaceutical research, development and manufacturing processes.

The biotechnology industry is making rapid progress in producing biological products from live cells with applications ranging from life-enhancing drugs to environmental waste removal. Biogen Idec, one of the world’s oldest and largest independent biotechnology companies, is at the forefront of the exciting world of biopharmaceutical discovery, development and manufacturing.

As part of your fellowship, you will work with a Biogen Idec mentor and team to develop curriculum tailored to your specific interests and classroom needs. Specific projects could range from working with growing mammalian cells in environmentally-controlled vessels to purifying and testing biomolecules in laboratories. Projects also could be designed to include current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) as well as statistical and mathematical problem solving.

Join Biogen Idec on the cutting edge of biopharmaceutical discovery and create dynamic curriculum to engage the next generation of biotech researchers and scientists.
