The 2024 Kimberg Internship Program is Underway
At Synexa Life Sciences, our commitment to scientific innovation and excellence drives everything we do. This year, we are thrilled to announce the commencement of the 2024 Kimberg Internship Program, a pivotal initiative that continues to honour the legacy of our late Chief Scientific Officer, Matti Kimberg, who passed away in July 2022.
Matti Kimberg was not only a brilliant scientist but also a passionate mentor dedicated to nurturing young talent. His vision and leadership helped shape Synexa’s ethos, and his commitment to fostering scientific growth remains a cornerstone of our mission. The Kimberg Internship Program, launched last year, stands as a testament to his enduring legacy.
The inauguration of this year’s program was a heartfelt and inspiring event, attended by Matti’s mother, Driene Kimberg. Her presence and words of encouragement deeply resonated with everyone, setting a tone of dedication and reverence for the interns embarking on their journey.
The Program
This years’ Kimberg Internship Program has been meticulously designed to provide young science graduates with an enriching, hands-on learning experience within our cutting-edge facilities. Over the next two months, eight interns will embark on a comprehensive rotational training program, gaining exposure to various departments within our Cape Town lab. This holistic approach ensures that they receive a well-rounded education in biomarker and bioanalytical sciences, encompassing a wide range of techniques and assays. Throughout the program, interns will also benefit from the expert mentorship of our senior scientists, who will provide personalised guidance crucial for developing their skills, confidence, and professional networks in a real-world scientific setting.
Looking Ahead
As we embark on the second year of the Kimberg Internship Program, our excitement and commitment to fostering the next generation of scientific leaders remain steadfast. This program is more than just an internship; it is a gateway to a future filled with innovation, discovery, and excellence in the life sciences.
Join us in celebrating the start of the 2024 Kimberg Internship Program and in remembering Matti Kimberg’s lasting impact. We look forward to witnessing the growth and achievements of this year’s interns, who are poised to contribute to the world of biomarker and bioanalytical sciences.
