Blueprint Medicines is a global precision therapy company that invents life-changing therapies for people with cancer and blood disorders. Applying an approach that is both precise and agile, we create medicines that selectively target genetic drivers, with the goal of staying one step ahead across stages of disease. Since 2011, we have leveraged our research platform, including expertise in molecular targeting and world-class drug design capabilities, to rapidly and reproducibly translate science into a broad pipeline of precision therapies. Today, we are delivering approved medicines directly to patients in the United States and Europe, and we are globally advancing multiple programs for systemic mastocytosis, lung cancer and other genomically defined cancers, and cancer immunotherapy.

Responsibilities:

This 9-month internship (full-time or 4 days per week) will serve as an introduction to International Regulatory Affairs and Market Access.  This is a fantastic opportunity for students who have just finished their university cycle or who are still enrolled in a university degree program to gain exposure to these two crucial functions in an International start-up biotech environment.  Within Regulatory Affairs, you will gain first-hand exposure to the registration process of international submissions being exposed to marketing applications and helping with other lifecycle management activities.   Within Market Access, you will gain exposure to the complex process of obtaining market access and reimbursement and to the health technology assessment.   The internship will start on September 1^st.
