Skilled synthetic chemist for Biomaterial synthesis in a Medtech startup (Internship or master thesis)
Do you look for a internship to get your first working experience? Would you like to work in a young, fast-moving startup in a highly-diverse, motivated team? Would you like to do lab work, which will turn into a real product to improve peoples life? Then contact us!
Lumendo is a young, award-winning Medtech startup, which emerged from the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology (EPFL and ETH) and is based in Lausanne and Zürich (www.lumendo.ch). Our goal is to have an impact on society by solving clinical problems, which may arise in everyone’s life sooner or later.
Our R&D team in Zürich is responsible for the development of various injectable implants for application in dentistry, orthopedic and neurosurgery. We are looking for intern to help us turn our first prototype into a real product.
**Project description**
Every year, 9 % of the population receives a root canal treatment. The high complexity of the procedure often leads to a failure of the treatment and a reinfection of the tooth. In this case, the entire treatment has to be repeated or the tooth extracted. Lumendo is developing a light-activated, easy-to-use root canal filling material, which can improve the long-term treatment outcome and help people to keep their natural teeth longer.
During the internship you will be responsible for the chemical synthesis, characterization and optimization of a set of material precursors. Together with our application team, you will help designing the material to meet the clinical requirements. This will give you the chance to interact with researchers, clinicians and regulatory experts relevant to the development of a medical device. Furthermore, you will be in charge of writing and testing scalable procedures for the chemical synthesis as well as identifying and selecting partners for the scale up and production of the materials.
**Your tasks**
- Literature search for suitable precursors and synthetic routes.
- Chemical synthesis, route finding and optimization of polymer precursors.
- Detailed characterization by spectroscopic and chromatographic methods.
- Test and optimize the material performance to meet the clinical requirements.
- Develop and test robust, scaleable synthetic protocols.
**Your profile**
- At least a bachelor degree in chemistry, material science or related.
- Solid understanding of organic and/or polymer chemistry, with synthetic experience.
- Experience in standard analytical methods (NMR, MS, IR).
- Highly motivated and responsible; well-organized working style.
**What we offer**
- A work that matters and can help improve people’s life.
- A startup environment, giving you high responsibility and lots of freedom.
- A young, entrepreneurial and motivated team.
