2021 Experiential Internship- R&D Scientist
Locations: Cambridge, United States of America
Categories: Administrative Services
Req ID: 2103302
Functional Department Description:
The Foundational Immunology Department at Cambridge Research Center is responsible for harnessing bioinformatics and high throughput target validation for the development of transformative Immunology and Fibrosis therapies.
Job Description:
The summer intern student will work closely with bioinformatics and molecular modelling scientists to use a machine learning/AI approach to build an in-silico platform to predict the impact on protein folding and protein function of non-synonymous missense genetic polymorphisms that result in amino acid changes.
The student will provide support to:
- Prioritize disease implicated variants for protein structural modelling leveraging literature and genetic databases.
- Learn and use molecular modelling software to model protein structure and calculate molecular properties.
- Define and classify different modelling scenario and standardize the prediction procedure.
- Design and implement the automated workflow to connect multiple molecular modelling and simulation programs to enable high-throughput screening.
- Correlation structural results with other metrics.
Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications:
- Basic understanding of genetic and protein structural concepts – required
molecular modelling software – preferred - Linux/Unix operating system – required
