Microbial / Cell Culture Internships

What is a Microbial / Cell Culture Internship?

This internship makes you genuinely fluent in aseptic technique — the foundation skill for almost every modern biological lab. You will routinely handle bacterial, fungal, yeast, or mammalian cell lines, learning how to keep them alive, healthy, and uncontaminated for experimental use.

What you will do

• Prepare media, sterilise glassware, and operate biosafety cabinets correctly
• Sub-culture, count, and freeze-store bacterial, fungal, or mammalian cells
• Diagnose and recover cultures from common contamination events
• Run growth curves, viability assays, and culture-purity checks
• Maintain culture logs to industry-grade documentation standards

Who this is for

Students of microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, pharmacy, and life sciences at any stage. Especially valuable if you have done theoretical microbiology coursework but never genuinely mastered the bench skills behind it.

What you take away

• NTHRYS internship certificate with culture-work specifics
• Aseptic technique fluency that interviewers immediately notice
• Ability to walk into any culture room and be productive within a day
• A documented project report demonstrating culture competence
