Jobbeschreibung

The position is an internship at Boehringer Ingelheim's main research site in Biberach. The intern will work closely with experienced scientists on real projects, gaining hands‑on experience in organic chemistry and supporting lead generation and lead optimization projects.

Responsibilities

• Support the synthesis of new molecules to support lead generation and lead optimization projects targeting innovative biological pathways.
• Plan and execute organic chemistry experiments, including purification (e.g., chromatography) and characterization of new molecular entities.
• Analyze experimental data (e.g., by NMR and LC‑MS), interpret results, and document findings in electronic laboratory notebooks.
• Conduct scientific literature searches to gather information on synthetic methods and reaction mechanisms.
• Explore and optimize synthetic routes with the focus on improving scope, yield, and scalability.
• Follow laboratory safety protocols and ensure compliance with internal standards.
