Duties & Responsibilities

+ Collaborate with the Biotherapeutics Data Science & AI team to develop and apply generative AI and protein language models for antibody discovery.

+ Design and implement deep learning and machine learning models to support predictive analytics in biotherapeutics drug discovery.

+ Analyze high-dimensional biological datasets (e.g., sequence, structure, assay data) to uncover insights that inform CMC strategies and improve developability.

+ Assist in building scalable pipelines for model training, evaluation, and deployment in a research setting.

+ Contribute to ongoing research projects by performing literature reviews, benchmarking algorithms, and presenting findings to cross-functional teams.

+ Support the development of internal tools and platforms that accelerate biologics research through automation and intelligent data integration.

Requirements

• Must be a current undergraduate, graduate or advanced degree student in good academic standing.

• Student must be enrolled at a college or university for the duration of the internship.

• Overall cumulative minimum GPA from last completed quarter/semester 3.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) preferred.
