About MyRei

At MyRei, we are developing sustainable, biodegradable, and innovative materials using mycelium and bio-based binders to disrupt the synthetic leather. We are currently in early-stage R&D, prototyping material behavior, and exploring the biofabrication ecosystem to create eco-conscious alternatives for tomorrow.

What You'll Work On

Research & Development Intern

• Studying research papers and patents on mycelium, algae binders, and bio-inks
• Reverse-engineering published methods to identify new directions
• Brainstorming new composite formulations for flexible bio-materials
• Building detailed mind maps and idea trees from technical literature
• Supporting our bio-incubation initiatives (possible offline involvement later)
• Exploring biodegradable alternatives and future design directions for bio-leather

Who We’re Looking For

• Background in

  Biotechnology / Microbiology / Bioengineering / Material Science

• Strong interest in

  biofabrication, biopolymers, or biomaterials

• Passionate about sustainable alternatives and open to deep research
• Willingness to work independently and adapt in a dynamic early-stage setup
• Ideally, hands-on lab experience with fungi or biomaterial cultures is a strong plus

Internship Highlights

• Unpaid role with the potential to transition to a

  core team

  or

  technical R&D head

  based on contribution
• Learn startup-level R&D planning, mind mapping, and literature deep dives
• Remote-first with potential in-person lab work if accepted by any bio incubator
• All

  offline expenses (travel, stay, etc.) are self-funded

  initially
• If incubated and funded, opportunity to become part of the first technical team
