CO-OP Opportunities
We regularly recruit CO-OP students to work with our team over a period of 6 months to develop innovative and cutting-edge cell therapy products to target cancer.
- Be exposed to pioneering science to benefit patients with cancer
- Develop skills and deliver important experimental results
- Collaborate with managers & co-workers proven to be mentors and coaches
- Be part of a growing, dynamic and collegial organization
Students have the opportunity to learn in various areas including but not restricted to immuno-oncology, molecular biology and cell biology. A co-op student would be responsible for maintaining cell lines, purifying primary human lymphocyte populations, differentiating T cell and myeloid cell subtypes, assisting with in vitro T cell-based assays and in vivo studies, plasmid design and construction, in vitro transcription, viral vector production and many others.
CO-OP Testimonials
What initially drew me to MiNK for my first co-op was the innovative research being done. I was given the opportunity to learn many techniques like cell culture, flow cytometry, and transfection, among others. Even though I did not have an immunology background, everyone was happy to teach and to provide me resources to get up to speed. I was happy to be given my own project to execute independently and felt like a contributing member to the team. What brought me back to MiNK rather than my other co-ops after graduation was the work environment. Our tiny team is full of intelligent and dedicated people who are passionate about the work we do, and who go out of their way to help each other. I am in my 2nd year with MiNK and feel like I am constantly learning and growing each day!

At MiNK, I was able to grow both on and off the lab bench. My team gave me the support and confidence I needed to succeed in my experiments and presentations.

A lot of companies are focused on what you can do for them, but the people at MiNK are focused on what they can do for you. They helped me learn many skills that have prepared me for future jobs in industry.
Connor, 2018
I really enjoyed the competitive edge the company had as well as the focus on immuno-oncology which was my passion since being introduced to the field. I was able to truly understand and push past my limits in many ways. Not only have I grown in ways I never expected, I made connections that I will truly cherish forever.
Camille, 2019
I applied to the co-op at MiNK therapeutics because of its small company environment. At MiNK, your opinion is valued, and you have the opportunity to contribute to multiple areas of the company. Everyone here is very friendly, helpful, and cares about your success. I highly recommend MiNK Therapeutics for Co-op students looking to gain a lot of experience in the field of cell therapy and immunology.
Alec, 2021
I chose to apply for a Co-op at MiNK because of the unique position they are in as a company as a smaller biotechnology subsidiary within a larger parent company. I thought a position on the research and development team would provide unique, detailed insight into research collaboration, pipeline development, and cutting-edge cancer therapeutics research that I would not been able to experience at any other company. The reason why I accepted this position and am excited to come to work each day, however, is because of the people I have been able to work with and learn from. We will collaborate on different projects based on what procedures need to be performed, and this coupled with weekly research presentations allowed for me to learn far beyond the scope of my own projects.
