Student goals and capabilities

Groups of students from UofT are keen on getting hands on experience in the Biotech industry. These Genetics stream students are well versed with all the latest tools of gene and genome editing and some double major in Statistics or Neuroscience. There is no strict limit on the group size, it could also be individual students if that works better. In addition, it could be a summer project that involves more hours.

Project Examples

Research projects related to drug design, gene editing, immunotherapy or stem cells & regenerative medicine.

Any tools and techniques that they can learn and then carry out independently or within a group. It can include drug screening, transgenics, cell, tissue and organoid cultures. Most beneficial is the exposure to the work environment and the insights gained from working within a biotech startup.

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
