Research and Development Intern

Job Summary

The Research & Development Intern will support the development of one or more next-generation regenerative tissue products being developed at Osteogenics Biomedical. This internship provides a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in commercial product development.

The successful candidate will contribute to laboratory research, experimental design, testing, data analysis, and prototype evaluation. This role is ideal for a Master's or PhD student seeking industry experience, though recent graduates and individuals who have already completed advanced degrees are welcome to apply.

Primary Duties and Responsibilities

• Perform hands-on laboratory work, including sample preparation, processing, characterization, and testing.
• Assist in the design, execution, and analysis of laboratory experiments supporting the development of novel regenerative tissue products.
• Collect, analyze, and summarize experimental data using scientific and statistical methods.
• Assist in the development and evaluation of new product concepts, prototypes, and manufacturing approaches.
• Conduct literature reviews to accelerate prototype development.
• Maintain accurate laboratory notebooks and research documentation.
• Support verification and validation testing activities related to product development.
• Participate in research discussions and contribute ideas for improving product performance, manufacturability, and clinical utility.
• Follow all laboratory safety procedures and applicable quality system requirements.

What You Will Gain

• Direct exposure to commercial product development in regenerative medicine.
• Hands-on experience translating scientific concepts into commercially viable products.
• Opportunities to execute experiments that influence real development decisions.
• Mentorship from experienced R&D professionals working in a regulated medical product environment.
• Exposure to product testing, product design, process development, and commercialization activities.
• Experience building technical skills highly valued in industry R&D careers.

Successful Traits
