Internship Bioengineering / Molecular Biology

Lausanne, United StatesOn-site

Responsibilities

- Execute and improve QC on constructs and proteins (capillary electrophoresis, sequencing, SDS-PAGE) and characterization assays (binding, expression, stability).

Adaptyv is building an automated lab thats let AI agents run biology experiments.
We're entering the era of agentic science where AI models can now design novel proteins, propose hypotheses, and iterate on experimental results.
We're building the infrastructure that gives AI agents access to the physical world.
We are one of the fastest growing biotech companies, trusted by leading biopharmas, frontier AI labs, and the techbio companies pushing the field forward.
We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation.
You've done real molecular biology — PCR, cloning, transformation, electrophoresis, ideally protein expression and purification — through research, a project, or a prior internship, and you're good at it.
Protocols don't intimidate you. - Studying or recently graduated in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Life Science Engineering, or a related field. - Automation- and software-curious.
Comfort with scripting (Python) or liquid-handling automation is a strong plus. - Self-starter.
You see what needs doing and do it, without waiting for someone to hand you the next step. - AI-native.
It's 2026 — you use AI tools as a default to learn faster and work smarter. - High standards and high drive.

But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process.
This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today.
ABOUT THE ROLE This is an internship for an exceptional molecular biologist who wants to do the most serious work of their life so far.
You won't shadow people or run busywork — you'll own real production workflows: cloning, protein expression, purification, and characterization, on the systems that serve our customers every day.
