About the position
Corcept is leading the way in the research and development of cortisol modulators, molecules that regulate cortisol activity at the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). To date, we have discovered more than 1,000 selective proprietary cortisol modulators. In 2012, we received FDA approval of Korlym (mifepristone), the first approved treatment for hypercortisolism (Cushing's syndrome). Today, our team and collaborators continue to unlock the possibilities of cortisol modulation as a way to treat serious diseases. With more than 30 ongoing studies across a wide range of disease areas, including endocrinology, oncology, metabolism, and neurology, we remain dedicated to advancing the possibilities of cortisol modulation. Come spend your summer working with passionate colleagues and inspirational leaders, all while gaining world-class experience in one of the fast-growing biotechs in the Bay Area. The Clinical Operations team is looking for a summer intern who brings enthusiasm, scientific curiosity, and a desire to understand the associated activities in the drug discovery process. The summer intern will work with Clinical Operations team members, as well as other cross-functional groups, to support the study's operational aspects and gain further insight into the drug development process.
