Hey there, I'm also studying biotechnology. Getting internships in Germany is not really that easy, but first of all, I would say: ask your professors if they have colleagues over here in Germany, or if they are cooperating with a German school. Most of the schools do have labs that do research, or have former students that built up small companies and they are still in touch with them. Ask around your techers, it's your best bet.

Other than that: What information are you looking for? Project info, general info on companies, info on how much you get and how to get your visa?

Also, I have to tell you that most of the German companies don't pay anything for internships, or very little. (400-500€ per month, if that, and depending on where you will be, you might have to pay up to 350€ rent for an appartement with a roommate or more, if you live alone. Groceries and stuff is about 50-75€ a week, you will still need to pay for transportation...), so take that into account.

Good luck.
