Research Assistant - Anonymous employee Wistar Institute Employee Review

Very supportive research community - everyone is ready to assist on any projects

Pay is potentially impacted by government regulations on research activities

Wistar is a world-renowned biomedical research institute, which adds strong credibility to your CV. You gained hands-on experience in advanced immunology, virology, and translational projects (e.g., HIV reservoir, CRISPR, inflammasomes).

Unlike bigger universities, institutes sometimes have restricted access to certain facilities or collaborations. Job stability may depend on external grants, which can cause uncertainty.
