My name is Hanny Ngo, and I am a 2024 Co-op at Discovery Biologics, South San Francisco site. Merk’s internship/co-op program offers an exceptional experience in the bio-pharmaceutical industry. Working alongside talented scientists on meaningful projects has reconfirmed my passion for science and patient care. With my mentor’s guidance and the support from my manager and department, my co-op project has progressed smoothly. I truly appreciate the open and collaborative culture at Merck, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn about the drug development pipeline
