Summer Internship
The Indiana Biosciences Research Institute (IBRI) internship program is designed for students to obtain applied learning experience that will complement and extend the traditional educational process. These experiences will aid students in the exploration of potential career opportunities and assist in clarifying personal and educational goals.
Students will gain hands-on research experience in state-of-the-art laboratories, learn innovative techniques and work with experts in their field. The IBRI offers experiential learning opportunities in the areas of:
- Bioinformatics
- Cellular Pharmacology
- Competitive Intelligence
- Computational Chemistry
- Disease Pathogenesis
- Finance/Accounting
- Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) Technologies
- Medicinal Chemistry

Inaugural Summer Internship Class of 2023
The IBRI's Class of 2023 was made up of 13 undergraduates from Indiana University, Purdue University, DePauw University and Franklin College; five SEED/STEM high schoolers; and two post-graduate fellows. Roughly half were female, about 45 percent were from underrepresented minority populations, and an estimated 20 percent were from economically-disadvantaged backgrounds (living below the poverty line).
We truly hope that their experience - and yours - is a landmark one and that all will move forward with a great sense of accomplishment, increased confidence and passion for the sciences. Our greatest hope is that our interns will use their skills and passion to contribute to Indiana's growing biosciences community.
