At Sanofi, we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. We’re also a place where early-career scientists can thrive—whether you’re exploring career paths, building skills, or contributing to breakthrough research. As a Winter 2026 Co-op in our Type 2 Exploratory Biology group, you’ll gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge immunology research, work alongside a collaborative and innovative team, and help advance discoveries that could transform the future of medicine.

This role is ideal for someone eager to contribute to early-stage drug discovery in a scientifically rigorous and supportive environment.

You’ll have the opportunity to work on a variety of experimental approaches using Sanofi’s state-of-the-art platforms. With guidance from experienced scientists, you will support the design and execution of in vitro assays and assist in data analysis to help identify and characterize new therapeutic targets.

We are an innovative global healthcare company with one purpose: to chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. We’re also a company where you can flourish and grow your career, with countless opportunities to explore, make connections with people, and stretch the limits of what you thought was possible.
