Scope of Position
As an intern in Computational Protein Design, your responsibilities would include assisting in the creation, development, and optimization of deep learning (DL)/machine learning (ML) models to predict drug properties. The intern will be able to apply their knowledge of computational biology and machine learning algorithms to analyze complex data, including but not limited to protein sequences, structures, and biophysical data. Furthermore, you will assist in the implementation and testing of DL/ML models and contribute to the improvement of current models by incorporating new research findings and insights. Participating in data preprocessing, feature extraction, model training, validation, and testing would also be a part of this internship. You would also be collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers, and effectively communicate your findings and progresses to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Ultimately, your work will contribute to our understanding of protein design and potentially lead to the development of novel therapeutic.
