Internship Opportunity: BIOINFORMATICS AND COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY, Genentech, San Francisco, CA
INTERN – BIOINFORMATICS AND COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY
South San Francisco, California
Job ID: 00451644
The Position
The mission of the group is to provide the information systems including the methods, software, databases, infrastructure, and training required for Research to access and analyze DNA and protein sequence information and related biological data. To utilize these information systems to analyze biological information and to identify genes of therapeutic interest.
The successful candidate will explore the impact of gene regulatory networks and gene co-expression networks on clinical outcomes such as survival, response to treatment, etc. using external gene expression and mutation databases as well as internal clinical trial datasets. The co-expression networks will be further explored for prioritization of novel biomarkers and targets that associate with clinical outcome. This will be a collaborative effort between the intern candidate and the Oncology Biomarker Development research team. These data will eventually feed into mathematical models of gene networks in collaboration with gRED Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP). Ultimate goal will be to build a R package that will incorporate these analyses that can be broadly applied to any new clinical trial datasets in the future.
