Job Description:
This person will be working in the Genome Informatics Department in the Regeneron Genetics Cetner in Tarrytown, NY. The student will explore one of several options to leverage the relationships within our data to help in the RGC’s, and Regeneron’s, efforts to gain biological insights into human genetic disease. To do so, the trainee will be chose one of several approaches to try to leverage the relatedness data: 1. Explore existing 3rd party bioinformatics tools and apply them to out dataset 2. Exand on our in-house pipelines and tools 3. Use machine learning techniques within a Spark framework 4. Apply graph theory techniques to the identified family networks Start building your skills at Regeneron. • Must be pursuing an undergraduate or masters degree in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology • Programming proficiency in C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, and/or R. Fundamental understanding of genetics. • Additional valuable experience include: machine learning, graph theory, identity by decent estimation, working in the cloud, or human genetic analysis Intern Program Requirements: • Must be enrolled in, or accepted to, an academic program pursuing an Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD • Prefer demonstrated leadership in areas such as campus activities, clubs, sports or the community • Minimum GPA of 3.0
Additional Info:
he Regeneron Genetics Center is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company organized to collaborate with health systems and research groups to elucidate, on a large scale, genetic factors that cause or influence a range of human diseases. Building upon Regeneron's strengths in mouse genetics and genetics-driven drug discovery and development, the Center will specialize in ultra-high-throughput exome sequencing and computational biology; discovery of genotype-phenotype associations through linkage to well-annotated de-identified patient electronic medical records; and validation of discoveries using Regeneron’s VelociGene® technology. Our interests encompass a breadth of different areas such as Mendelian and family frameworks, large-scale population genetics (both common and rare variants), and gene-gene interactions. Program goals include target discovery, indication discovery, and patient-disease stratification. Objectives include advancing basic science around the world through public sharing of discoveries, providing clinically-valuable insights to physicians and patients of collaborating health-care systems, and identifying novel targets for drug development. In the Regeneron Genetics Center (RGC), we have exome sequencing and phenotypic data for over 130K individuals. We have identified a tremendous amount of familial relationships among individuals we have sequenced from several of our collaborations, e.g. >50% of the individuals from our Geisinger collaboration have a 1st or 2nd degree relative in that dataset that make up over 7000 pedigrees. Other Details: • A free shuttle is offered from the North White Plains or Tarrytown train stations to the Tarrytown campus This is an opportunity to join our select team that is already leading the way in the Pharmaceutical/Biotech industry. Apply today and learn more about Regeneron Genetics Center’s unwavering commitment to combining good science & good business. To all agencies: Please, no phone calls or emails to any employee of Regeneron or the Regeneron Genetics Center about this opening. All resumes submitted by search firms/employment agencies to any employee at Regeneron or the Regeneron Genetics Center via-email, the internet or in any form and/or method will be deemed the sole property of the Regeneron Genetics Center, unless such search firms/employment agencies were engaged by Regeneron or the Regeneron Genetics Center for this position and a valid agreement with either Regeneron or the Regeneron Genetics Center is in place. In the event a candidate who was submitted outside of the Regeneron or Regeneron Genetics Center agency engagement process is hired, no fee or payment of any kind will be paid. RGC is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
