About the Internship

We are looking for a motivated intern in AI & Computational Biology to support the development and application of machine learning methods on large-scale biological datasets. This role is ideal for students or recent graduates in computational biology, bioinformatics, AI/ML, or data science who are passionate about applying their skills to real-world biomedical problems.

As part of the Computational Biology team, you’ll work alongside experienced scientists and engineers, gaining hands-on experience with high-dimensional omics data and the opportunity to contribute to projects that impact drug discovery in oncology.


What You’ll Do

  • Support development of ML models for biological data analysis, with guidance from senior team members.

  • Process and integrate multi-modal datasets such as transcriptomics, genomics, and phenotypic screens from PDOs.

  • Contribute to exploratory data analysis, visualization, and preprocessing pipelines to uncover patterns and validate hypotheses.

  • Assist in prototype implementations of generative and predictive models under supervision.

  • Participate in weekly team meetings and project updates, contributing ideas and presenting your findings.


Preferred experience

Must Have skills

  • A student or recent graduate in computational biology, bioinformatics, machine learning, data science, or related fields.

  • Curious about cancer biology and excited by the idea of translating data into real therapeutic impact.

  • A strong team player who is proactive, detail-oriented, and thrives in a collaborative and fast-paced research environment.

  • Very comfortable with coding in Python.

  • Familiar with machine learning libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow) and have a strong understanding of ML fundamentals.


Nice to Have skills

  • Exposure to RNA-seq or other omics data and tools like scanpy, anndata, or Bioconductor packages.

  • Familiarity with deep learning or generative models.

  • Interest in oncology, organoids, or translational research.
