Microsoft Research Intern - Bioinformatics 

United States, Washington 

725594140

The discovery and/or synthesis of new therapeutics remains a key challenge for improving human health, and computation and machine learning/AI are playing an increasingly important role therein. Many of the necessary ingredients are available -- massive scale genomic biobanks, curated resources cataloging well established variant-gene-disease-phenotype relationships, large corpora of biomedical literature detailing decades of clinical and biomedical inquiry -- yet the tasks of dynamically integrating the information from these resources and effectively reasoning on them remain at an early stage.

• Currently enrolled in a PhD program in Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Genetics, Genomics, Bioengineering, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, or a related field.
