Student projects

Sanquin offers several interesting and challenging internships for undergraduate students (University master students and HLO trainees). Download the project information below.

As from May 2012 new internships regarding molecular cell biology will be available.

If the internship you are looking for is not there, please contact us and tell us what kind of project you prefer.
