Apply even if you aren't a perfect fit - we can't know you're awesome unless we meet you.Position Title: Research Intern (Undergraduate) or Research Intern (Graduate)Location: On-site (Atlanta, GA)Start Date: Undergrad: January 2026 Hours: 10-20 hours/week during Spring Semester; Full-time Summer 2026Grad: Full-time Spring or Summer 2026 (12 weeks)Pay: $20-25/hrAbout Andson: Andson Biotech is developing a microfluidic platform enabling rapid sample cleanup for mass spectrometry applications. Mass spectrometry is a gold-standard chemical analysis tool, but it remains limited in utility due to the complex workflows associated with going from raw sample to analysis. Andson’s flagship product, the DynaChip X1, enables simple, on-demand mass spectrometric analysis with easy-to-use interfaces. By simplifying complex workflows that have traditionally kept mass spectrometry confined to specialized labs, Andson is empowering biomanufacturers, biopharma companies, and academic researchers to accelerate drug discovery, streamline biotherapeutic development, and bring life-changing therapies to patients faster. Andson Biotech was recently awarded an NIH Phase I SBIR grant to advance analytical technologies specifically for cell therapy applications. This is an exciting time to join our team as we expand our impact in the industry.
