FDA Protein Biochemistry Fellowship

Description

The FDA Protein Biochemistry Fellowship is available to graduate students pursuing a degree in environmental/marine sciences, life health/medical sciences, or other physical sciences. You must be a U.S. citizen to be eligible for this internship. Preference will be given to applicants who have familiarity with protein purification and mass spectrometry of large proteins. As a fellow, you will be trained on protein biochemistry and the impact of protein oxidation using in vitro and in vivo models. Activities may include orthogonal validation experiments utilizing specialized equipment such as mass spectrometry and chromatographic methods to characterize the structure-function relationship between oxidation and drug purity, potency and immunogenicity. This fellowship is located in Silver Spring, MD, at the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).
