Internship
[Flyer]
Please see attachment with list. Some application deadlines are end of October/ November 1st.
SPOTLIGHT: -
Michael Joseph and Sneh Talwar interned this summer at the HIVE Lab at the George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences:
The objective of the High-performance Integrated Virtual Environment (HIVE) lab at GWU is to integrate the HIVE platform with a variety of high throughput data analysis tools aimed at standardizing the communication and
expression of bioinformatics, glycoinformatics, cancer research, and microbiome analysis data.
https://hive.biochemistry.gwu.edu/home
Michael liked how the tasks were related to his interests and that he gained experience in a variety of different fields including Bioinformatics, research, data pipelines, web development and database management.
Sneh was able to work on three different projects and learned many different skills, like putting together a research poster, and more general ones for the workplace like doing weekly scrums, and using JIRA for task management. Sneh also learned about different
bioengineering related fields like Bioinformatics/web development/and being a research dry-lab environment.
