For more information please visit www.astrazeneca.com .   Description DS&AI is a new department at AZ, and we are embedding data science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) across our R&D to enable our scientists to push the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines. Location: Gaithersburg, MD/Remote We are currently seeking rising seniors (undergraduate) or students pursuing a graduate degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Math, Bioinformatics, Quantitative Biology, Physics, Pharmacology, or Bioinformatics PhD, MD, or MD/PhD background for a 12-week (minimum) internship assignment during the summer of 2022.  As a Data Science Intern you will... Integrate multi-omics and clinical data into networks of disease cohorts. Model and predict the effects of key network members in disease severity, comorbidities, and/or treatment outcomes. Develop modularized reusable codes and visualization. Project Overview: Complex diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung diseases, and autoimmune manifestation remain the leading causes for disability worldwide and high-priority areas for AstraZeneca. These diseases often have overlapping symptoms and intertwined mechanisms, underlined by the interplay among genetics, environment and infectious agents like bacteria and virus. This complexity presents many challenges in prioritization of therapeutic targets and precision medicine strategies for clinical development.  In this placement with the Biological and Knowledge Analytics team of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DS&AI) department, the students will apply state-of-art bioinformatics and machine learning methods to address some of these challenges in collaboration with the scientists of various therapeutic areas. Specifically, the students can make contribution to: (1) develop multimodal networks of cohort subjects to integrate multi-omics and clinical data, (2) create feature embeddings, (3) build predictive models for disease severity, comorbidities and treatment response, and (4) assess the impact of molecular players, infectious agents, and genetic variants to assist the triage of therapeutic targets and treatment options. The students will also have the opportunities to attain training and discussion forum in DS&AI.   Position Requirements Rising college seniors (undergraduate students) or graduate students pursuing a degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Math, Bioinformatics, Quantitative Biology, Physics, Pharmacology, Bioinformatics PhD, MD, or MD/PhD background that meets eligible criteria. R and / or Python programming; predictive model building and testing; interests in graph machine learning. Experience in statistical genetics is a plus. Authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0+.   Full-Time/Part-Time Seasonal   Location Gaithersburg, MD   This position is currently not accepting applications.
