[SIAM-LS] summer internship at Genentech

[Helen Moore]

Summer Internship: Computational and Mathematical Modeling at Genentech,
Inc.

 

Ten - twelve week paid internship, starting in June 2008. Exciting
opportunity in drug development for a motivated undergraduate or graduate
student with a strong quantitative background and an interest in medical
research and applications. Project involves analysis of data and testing of
a new diagnostic in determining optimal drug schedule. Opportunity to learn
about the drug development process at a pioneering biotech company. 

 

Main work involved in the project: writing code to automate processing and
plotting of several available data sets; learning about the experimental
design and coming up with ideas for quantifying the outcomes of the data
plots; writing an internal report and giving a presentation summarizing the
work and results. One of the exciting aspects of this project is the chance
to have broad impact on experimental design across drug development. 

 

Desired background: strong programming skills in R, S-Plus, Matlab or
Mathematica; studies in bioengineering, applied mathematics, mathematics,
computer science, statistics, or pharmacokinetics. Experience using
mathematical modeling in biological/medical research settings is a plus. 

 

To apply, send a CV and a cover letter to Helen Moore, moore.helen at gene.com.
