Internship NGS (next generation sequencing)

We are currently searching for an enthusiastic intern to join our team that focusses on next generation
sequencing for the Cell and gene therapy analytic team within the Analytical development department,
part of Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine in Leiden.

The Cell and Gene Therapy Analytics (CGTA) team is a young and dynamic group,
which is part of Advanced Therapies Analytical Development Leiden. We are responsible for
developing methods to characterize our (viral) vector products.

Together, we use molecular, biochemical and cell-based technologies to assess quantity, potency, purity,
and identity characteristics of our products. We have a pivotal role between the process development,
quality unit and regulatory authorities.

• Bachelor / Master student in the field of life science, genetics, or any relevant education
•  You are available for a minimum of 6 months and 40 hours per week
•  You have knowledge of NGS, various molecular biology techniques and an interest in bioinformatics
•  Fluent in English, both verbally and in writing
•  Able to work independently as well as part of a team
•  Strong problem-solving skills
•  High degree of accuracy
•  Pro-active, self-starting and takes ownership

We are setting up the capability to characterize our products using Next-generation Sequencing (NGS).
We are looking for an intern who can support the development activities related to NGS work. Work will
include “wet” lab work like extracting DNA from viral samples, preparing sequencing libraries and
performing the sequencing. Following data collection, data needs to be analyzed via various bio-
informatic tools.
You will perform various molecular techniques in the lab. Besides NGS there will be other opportunities to support the team with other cell and bioassays.

• Perform molecular techniques in the laboratory.
• Maintain accurate and detailed documentation of all experiment procedures, results and deviations.
• Analyze data and think of new experiments.
• Read scientific literature and gather information about different methods and results.
• Create training materials.
• Possibility to write a thesis.

At Johnson & Johnson, we believe health is everything. Our strength in healthcare innovation empowers
us to build a world where complex diseases are prevented, treated, and cured. A world where treatments
are smarter, more innovative, less invasive, and solutions are personal.

The laboratory fosters a culture of continuous learning and professional growth. Team members have
access to ongoing training and development opportunities to enhance their technical expertise and stay
abreast of advancements in the field.
