Sanquin, in collaboration with Amsterdam UMC (VUmc location), offers internships in the field of donor medicine. In collaboration with the Faculty of Social Sciences at the VU, Amsterdam we also offer internships in behavioral sciences.

Sanquin is responsible for blood supply in the Netherlands and serves as a center of expertise in donor and transfusion medicine. In addition to providing blood products, we conduct scientific research on blood donors, blood and the immune system, develop medicines and diagnostics assays, and are committed to education and knowledge sharing.

Our donor studies are essential for improving the safety and effectiveness of blood donation, both for donors and recipients. We study donor responses to donations, enhance donation processes, and safeguard donor health. An overview of our research projects can be found at: Sanquin Donor Studies.

As an intern in Donor Studies, you will have the opportunity to gain experience in a scientific environment. You will be part of a research team and work on projects that directly impact blood supply. Your tasks may include designing and conducting studies, data analysis, and writing scientific reports.

At Sanquin, we offer a stimulating learning environment where you can further develop your knowledge and skills. You will work closely with experienced professionals. We are looking for motivated students with a background in health sciences or a related field.
