Intern Testimonials: 

“With the Discovery Technologies Department, I contributed to developing an application that generates molecules based on desired characteristics. Synthesizing potential new molecules often requires a lot of overhead. By computationally exploring molecules with this application, our chemists will have a better understanding of which molecules to pursue, ultimately making discovering new potential medicines more efficient. This work has been rewarding because I will have truly left my mark on our scientists’ research processes for years to come.”

“It was very rewarding to work with the Medical Affairs Team on creating a Standard Response Letter (SRL) for the REDWOOD-HCM Cohort 4 Clinical Trial. SRL documents communicate key information about trials to health care providers and other stakeholders. Without these, there would be ambiguity in addressing specific queries related to drug efficacy, safety and more.”

“The company culture at Cytokinetics is the best of the best. I have never encountered a workforce so united and devoted to carrying out the company mission. Intelligence and positivity radiate in employees across the organization and are apparent from one’s first day in the office.”
