Hello friends,

Just a few questions about how interning in a biotech company would be seen in terms of research. I worked two summers (plus this next summer) at a blood diagnostics company working on some clinical trial stuff as well as an independent research project for which a publication is in the works.

Will this get looked upon similarly to undergrad research? I worked almost 1000 hours in this company and I feel like I gained a lot of good experience with research that is directly related to healthcare. I never managed to work in an academic lab, and I'm wondering if this will make up for it.

Any advice is much appreciated!

Thanks!
