Industrial Placements

Medical Sciences at the University of Exeter.

I am an undergraduate student in Medical Sciences at the University of Exeter and completed my placement year at Neuro-Bio. My experience here has been immensely rewarding. From the start, I felt integrated into the team. The support and training provided to interns were impressive, as was the commitment to research shown by everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed managing my own project and learning molecular biology and cell culture techniques. Contributing to Neuro-Bio’s innovative approach to combating Alzheimer’s disease has been rewarding. Reflecting on this experience, it has been a crucial step in my development as a scientist and for my future career. I am very grateful to Neuro-Bio and would highly recommend a placement here.

My internship at Neuro-Bio has been an invaluable opportunity for my growth as a scientist.  I worked on a project comparing the efficacy of a monoclonal antibody to NBP-14, using measures such as compensatory AChE release, cell viability, and calcium influx.  This project allowed me to apply and expand my scientific knowledge while developing key lab skills.  I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such an amazing team and contribute to impactful research.  I highly recommend a placement at Neuro-Bio for anyone looking to challenge themselves and gain valuable experience.

“My time at Neuro-Bio has been a brilliant and highly enriching experience. The environment was collaborative and supportive, and I was made to feel a valued member of the team from day one. I received extensive training and support for a wide variety of lab techniques, ultimately enabling me to work independently and plan my own experiments which, at my current stage of studies, has been an invaluable experience. The company’s novel approach to Alzheimer’s disease ensured that the work was fast-paced and exciting, and I am eager to see how the approach progresses in the future. I return to my studies a far better and more capable scientist – I could not recommend a placement with Neuro-Bio more highly!”

“I have learnt so much from my time at Neuro Bio, both personally and professionally, that I will take with me in my future endeavours. I am so grateful for all the hands-on experience as well as all the support and guidance I have received from the team at Neuro Bio. It’s been a pleasure to be a part of such a supportive and welcoming team.”

“My internship experience at Neuro-Bio was amazing! When I started at Neuro-Bio for my year-long placement or my undergraduate course, I was excited for the opportunity to get hands-on laboratory experience. It quickly became apparent to me that being a student scientist at Neuro-Bio means doing real-life research work that contributes to the important body of work that gives insight into Alzheimer’s Disease. It was rewarding to do such meaningful work and also exciting to contribute to Neuro-Bio’s groundbreaking approach to the field. Being able to get involved in the lab work as well as seeing how research and publishing works also informed me on what working in research after I graduate would look like. I am grateful for how supportive the Neuro-Bio team is because they enabled me to grow as a scientist.”

“The placement opportunity at Neuro-Bio gave me an insight into a novel and unique approach to Alzheimer’s disease – one of the reasons that drew me to apply.
Through gaining hands-on experience in cell culture-based projects, I’ve been able to develop my confidence in the lab, alongside expert support from supervisors. It was fulfilling to put academic theory into practice by testing an array of peptides in a range of biochemical assays, and presenting findings in the weekly meetings to the rest of the team.
One of the most rewarding aspects of the placement opportunity has been seeing the research progress and integrate with other disciplines, not only through in-house experiments, but also through collaborators working on a multitude of projects. It’s been an exciting journey, and one thing I would encourage future interns to do is ask lots of questions – there’s never an end to curiosity.”

‘I really enjoyed my internship at Neuro-Bio for many reasons. I felt like I was contributing to projects from an early stage, which gave me a sense of responsibility and drive to improve. They also encouraged me to explore areas of the research that I found most interesting, specifically in a computational project, and challenged me to take initiative. Overall, Neuro-Bio gave me the opportunity to learn from an experienced team of scientists and have an impact in an important research area.’

“Doing an internship at Neuro-Bio Ltd. has offered me the possibility to enter into the world of Alzheimer’s disease following an innovative approach. During these 6 months, I have been able to learn new lab techniques while conducting research on my own project as well as understanding how a biotech company works. Thanks to the guidance offered and the confidence in autonomous work, the company is a great place to start your journey as a scientist.
This experience has been enriching not only as a scientist but as a person who has moved abroad to learn and grow. I am grateful for having been part of the team.”

MSci Neuroscience (First Class Honours) Student at Glasgow University

Returning to Neuro Bio for the summer after I finished my degree has been a wonderful and rewarding experience. Not only did I get the opportunity to brush up my molecular biology skills before starting my PhD, I have had the opportunity to learn novel and state-of-the-art techniques that we have just developed in the lab. It has also been extremely valuable to see where all the projects are, how much they have evolved since last year, and to see the new industrial placement students being so enthusiastic about their projects. I now move on to my PhD but will look back to my time at Neuro Bio, both my industrial placement and the summer internship with fond memories and innumerable learning opportunities. I cannot wait to see how the science progresses and see Neuro Bio contribute to the battle against dementia.

“Applying for an internship at Neuro-Bio was one of the best choices that I have made. I was fortunate enough to work with Neuro-Bio for the duration of my penultimate year at university whilst working towards my Master of Biology degree. The small size of the company and its wholly novel approach to Alzheimer’s disease is what drew me to apply, because smaller companies can provide great opportunities to give your own input and take on further responsibilities.”
“Due to the fact that Neuro-Bio is a relatively young company, the work environment is fast moving with no two weeks the same. As an intern you are not only provided with training in the lab, but you are exposed to all the aspects involved in company growth which is great experience for working in the real world once you graduate. A new take on Alzheimer’s disease and neurodegeneration is vital in the fight against dementia, so being a part of a company that is focusing on doing just that is very rewarding. I think that the fact that I’m still at the company now is testament to how good the internship programme is!”
