You will learn from the perspective of people who are impacted by rare diseases and will see how these insights and perspectives are woven into decision-making throughout drug development.

As a patient‑facing function, Patient Affairs sits at the heart of Sarepta’s mission, providing firsthand insight into how rare disease drug development impacts patients, families, and communities.

As the team expands into new disease areas and deepens its patient‑centric strategies and operating models, the intern will support meaningful, mission‑driven projects across patient engagement, operations, grants and sponsorships, project management, patient science programs, and cross‑functional partnerships other projects as needed. This role offers a hands‑on introduction to advocacy in rare disease and serves as a valuable gateway for students exploring careers in STEM, biotech, or patient‑focused roles. The ideal candidate will leverage their interest in STEM, passion for making an impact, and organizational excellence to dive in headfirst into the rare disease advocacy landscape.
