Role Summary
Summer 2026 Translational Bioinformatics Internship at Bristol Myers Squibb. The internship provides hands-on research in identifying biomarkers and understanding molecular features associated with genetic aberrancies in disease, using omics datasets and computational modeling to predict biomarkers and characterize their impact on tumor biology. The program runs June–August 2026 and offers a collaborative, cross-functional R&D environment.
Responsibilities
- Prediction Modeling: Apply predictive modeling techniques to identify candidate biomarkers that improve identification of patients with STK11 or KEAP1 genetic variations.
- Spatial Transcriptomic Analysis: Utilize spatial transcriptomic data to characterize molecular features associated with STK11 and KEAP1 genetic alterations in NSCLC.
- Flexible Deliverables: Project goals may be tailored to fit the intern's interests and skills, including benchmarking methodologies and multi-modal datasets.
Qualifications
- Currently enrolled in a PhD program in bioinformatics, computational biology, biostatistics, or a related quantitative field.
- Proficiency in at least one scripting language (R preferred).
- Familiarity with data reproducibility best practices (e.g., Git/GitHub; containers/workflows are a plus).
- Experience analyzing spatial transcriptomics data and/or building prediction models using omics data types.
- A strong foundation of cancer biology is a plus.
- Must be able to work full-time for the program duration.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Authorized to work in the US for the duration of employment; visa sponsorship is not available.
Skills
- Computational modeling
- Omics data analysis
- Spatial transcriptomics
- Biomarker identification
- Data reproducibility and version control
- Clear scientific communication
Education
- No additional education requirements beyond current PhD enrollment; relevant quantitative field required.
Additional Requirements
- Full-time commitment for the internship duration (June–August 2026).
- Ability to work in the United States for the duration of the program.
