A leading biotechnology firm in Highgate is seeking an intern to develop a data storage and retrieval strategy for clinical trial resources. The role involves using machine learning to analyze data. Suitable for those studying life sciences or similar. Familiarity with Python, SQL, and R preferred, but training will be provided. The placement is paid, offers 25 days of annual leave, and access to a socially active work environment.
Immunocore has a substantial clinical trial data resource, combining trial outcome data with extensive RNA and DNA sequencing data. Work with it using classical techniques has been informative, but the nature of the data also makes it a promising candidate for the application of machine learning (ML) algorithms. The aim of this project is to develop a systematic data storage and retrieval strategy suitable for integration with ML tools, and then to use ML to glean novel insights into response signatures and factors linked to treatment outcome., Initially, to work with the team to design and implement a strategy for efficient management and storage of existing clinical trial data and DNA/RNA sequencing resources. This is likely to involve, but not be limited to, development of relational (SQL‑like) database(s), with the use of either R or python visualisation tools for description and exploration of the data. Subsequently, to utilise this resource (alongside other data, as appropriate) to search for signatures of ImmTAC‑mediated responses and links to clinical outcomes. Exploratory work may involve a range of tools, but it is anticipated that the project will employ machine‑learning techniques to glean novel insights. This is likely to rely largely on python tools (e.g. scikit‑learn, PyTorch).
Currently studying towards a BSc in life sciences / bio‑medicine or a similar discipline. This would suit someone with an interest in data science and coding. Some familiarity with coding and working in a Linux environment is desirable (the post will involve work in python, SQL, and R), but this can be taught during the placement. Please note this is a training course and fees apply.
