This will involve understanding the current market position of Bacchus Therapeutics in relation to other companies in the biotech sector, identifying key competitors, and analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
- Research and compile a list of competitors in the biotech industry focusing on small molecule development for cancer treatment, especially kidney and liver cancers
- Analyze the market position of Bacchus Therapeutics in comparison to its competitors especially with high grade kidney and liver cancers.
- Identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of each competitor in terms of market penetrance, insurance reimbursements, and incorporation in medical practice guidelines .
- Create a comprehensive report detailing the competitive landscape and analysis of the biotech companies in the cancer treatment sector.
- Present the findings and recommendations to the management team of Bacchus Therapeutics.
As an intern at Bacchus, you can gain valuable insights and hands-on experience in applying data analysis techniques to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. You'll have the opportunity to work closely with professionals in the field, learning about the unique challenges and opportunities in developing cancer treatments. Your internship will likely involve tasks such as data collection, analysis, and visualization, which will enhance your skills in Visio, Powerpoint, Excel, and other data visualization tools. Additionally, you'll gain exposure to the regulatory environment surrounding cancer therapeutics, as well as the business strategies and decision-making processes involved in bringing new treatments to market. This internship can provide a solid foundation for a future career in business intelligence, particularly in the healthcare or pharmaceutical sectors.

Industry, innovation and infrastructureAbout the company
Bacchus Therapeutics is a biotech company that exploits cancer’s hypermetabolic state by targeting specific cancer metabolic pathways. The aberrant expression of cancer-causing gene MYC is virtually unmatched, making MYC one of the most frequently deregulated genes in human tumors, including, liver, kidney, brain, blood, breast, prostate, and lung tumors. Human studies and preclinical models have established that dysregulation of MYC underlies the pathogenesis and aggressiveness of numerous cancers.
Based on our prior research at Stanford University, we developed innovative, proprietary small molecules that target fat metabolism. This causes regression of MYC cancers in preclinical mouse and human studies and prolongs survival. Moreover, our novel metabolomic platform allows us to screen which cancers will respond to our treatment. We are able to monitor therapeutic response within a few days of treatment by measuring the actual biomarkers of our cancer therapy. This allows us to tell patients and doctors if our drug is working much faster than for standard cancer treatments.
