Scientist Development Program
Scientists aren’t born, they’re created out of a passion to change lives for the better. Initiated in 2011 by the Aclaris subsidiary, Confluence Discovery Technologies, our scientist development program was designed to foster the minds of young scientists who have graduated from college with a 4-year degree and who want to make an impact.
Members of the program will have the opportunity to gain real-world experience, particularly in drug development and discovery. Generally, these young scientists spend one to three years in our program before moving on to a graduate program in the sciences or to a medical school.
