Translational Biology Intern

Why Sarepta? Why Now?

The promise of genetic medicine has arrived, and Sarepta is at the forefront. We hold a leadership position in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne) and are building a robust portfolio of programs across muscle, central nervous system, and cardiac diseases. In 2023, we launched our fourth therapy and the first ever gene therapy to treat Duchenne. 

We’re looking for people who see unlimited potential in themselves and who are motivated by an unwavering commitment to patients.

What Sarepta Offers

At Sarepta, we care deeply about all the people in our community and believe in the importance of supporting them in all aspects of their lives. We aspire to maintain a culture that acknowledges people bring their whole selves to work, and we will strive to help everyone in our community integrate their work and personal lives while maintaining productivity.

The Importance of the Role
 

This internship provides an opportunity for an aspiring scientist to engage in early stage assay development work that is essential to the team’s exploratory research efforts. The intern will gain hands on laboratory experience, exposure to experimental design, and opportunities to analyze data, troubleshoot challenges, and present findings. By contributing to foundational assay development, the intern directly supports Sarepta’s mission to advance innovative therapies while building practical skills that can shape their scientific future.
