The Infectious Diseases & Vaccines (IDV) group is an R&D team heavily funded by the Gates Foundation to support global health projects in collaboration with leading academic groups across the globe to deliver programmes centred on malaria. IDV additionally delivers projects in a range of cross-functional collaborations across the Sanofi organisation, addressing questions on antigen design and antibody discovery for a range of diseases. As a Laboratory Industrial Placement Student, you will join a collaborative research team working antigen design and antibody discovery for a range of diseases. Largely supporting our internal Sanofi programmes, this role provides a unique opportunity for an industrial placement student to be at the forefront of our pipeline development and delivery activities. The placement will involve delivery and refinement of laboratory techniques to drive our end-to-end vaccine candidate evaluation and antibody discovery pipeline, working on projects spanning multiple disease areas. You will gain hands-on laboratory experience and work across a range of research projects exploring how novel vaccines and therapeutic antibodies can help prevent and treat infectious diseases. This will give you exposure to different stages of the research process in a real laboratory R&D environment. During your placement, you will develop practical laboratory skills using techniques such as flow cytometry, ELISAs, cell-based assays, and single-cell sorting, while also gaining insight into how a biopharmaceutical research site operates day to day. This is a unique opportunity to build your scientific experience, strengthen your technical skills, and contribute to research that supports the development of future vaccines and therapies with global impact.
