Period of internship : 4 to 6 months – From August/September 2024
Cherry Biotech’s mission
Cherry Biotech’s mission is to develop the most advanced technological platform using in-vitro human biological models to evaluate the impact of compounds (e.g. drugs, endocrine disruptors, cosmetics) on the human body to better treat pathologies and predict adverse side effects. The platform aims to be the best alternative to ineffective animal models by combining novel microfluidic technologies, artificial intelligence, and the most advanced imaging techniques
Our context today
We are now at the development stage of our company. CubiX, our main product, is in a pre-sales phase and we are now offering service activities. We are also involved in several international scientific collaborations which allow us to keep ahead of our competitors, to test our devices with top-notch scientific support and to further explore new potential innovations to integrate into our current and future products.
Our team
To meet all the challenges of our company, we have built a united and hardworking group. We are a multidisciplinary team of 14 people of 8 different nationalities, passionate about our mission, helping each other, and adapting to all situations.
3 main attitudes are the foundation of our corporate culture:
Sense of humor 🙂 – Surpassing yourself – Cooperation
What do we propose?
Context:
Organs on Chip, or micro physiological systems (MPS), have the potentiality to increase the speed of discovery of new treatments and replace animal models. At Cherry we developed a new device, CubiX, that has the power of controlling the physical parameters of the cellular environment.
Mission:
In our production facilities, you will learn how our products & micro-physiological system work, how they are built and characterized, and the troubleshooting process to identify and solve technical issues.
Your main tasks during the internship:
- Assist in the design of complex systems to integrate into our products and prototypes.
- Assemble and test products (CherryTemp & Cubix) and prototypes (microfluidic devices).
- Participate in the production and after-sales service activities (CherryTemp & Cubix).
- Take part in the optimization processes and actions.
- Communicate results by reports and oral presentations to your supervisors and to the company.
- Participate in brainstorming and follow up meetings.
Main skills expected to be acquired at the end of the Cherry experience:
- Develop a good theoretical and practical knowledge about the multidisciplinary, complexity and challenges associated with building and validating new advanced MPS.
- Learn how to design, prototype, and produce with critical and analytical vision.
- Understand the importance of usability and system design for user and market fit.
- Improve organizational and technical skills.
What we’re looking for:
- Bac+2 or Bachelor in Mechanical or Production degree
- Previous experience(s) with product assembly, CAD or DIY projects (Maker community)
- English fluent speaker and good writing skills mandatory.
- Passionate about mechanical and electronical prototyping.
- Good motivation, autonomy, teamwork.
Other information:
- Lunch-voucher of 8€ (60% paid by Cherry Biotech)
- 100% of Ile-de-France transportation subscription supported by Cherry Biotech
