Bioinformatics Intern - Remote

Overview

The Bioinformatics Group at Arcus works in a matrix environment to leverage internal and external high dimensional data in our precision oncology and drug discovery efforts. We are seeking highly motivated individuals to join us for our summer intern program, where interns will work closely with their mentor to develop cutting edge bioinformatics tools and work with biological datasets to address key questions related to oncology drug development.
