Internship Biotechnology and Cell Culture

About Meatable

The Meatable approach for creating ‘cell-based’ meat is based on ground-breaking proprietary technology that was developed at The University of Cambridge and allows us to turn induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into muscle and fat cells, creating 100% real, delicious, guilt free meat. We use iPSCs because they have amazing benefits that enable affordable, at scale production (e.g. they are pluripotent, grow completely serum free, have unlimited proliferation capacity and can grow in suspension). With our technology, scalable cell-based meat production is becoming a reality.

We are a young and fast-growing company and are entering our next wave of growth. Given our size, new team members will be a huge part of our motivated multidisciplinary team. Our culture encourages everybody on the team to actively shape their position and we provide ample opportunities for personal and professional growth.

About the Role

As a biotechnology and cell culture intern you will join the project dedicated to the development of the new industrial cell culture for the cultured meat production. Your responsibilities will include preparing media for the experiments, maintaining pluripotent stem cells in suspension and adherent culture and analysing the results.

You will work as a part of Ingredients and Media Development team. You will be closely supervised by one of our scientists and supported by the rest of the team.

In order to be successful in this role you need to have a hands on mentality with attention to detail and quality. You need to be flexible to changing priorities in a dynamic and fast-growing organization. You are a real team player, but you also take responsibility for your individual tasks.
