2026 Summer/Fall Intern - Regev Lab - Decoding Genetic CircuitryDepartment SummaryRegev lab is seeking a talented and highly motivated intern with a strong computational and analytical background in computational biology. This project aims to decode the genetic circuitry of human immune cells by analyzing high-dimensional perturbation datasets.
This internship position is located in
South San Francisco, on-site. The OpportunityBy applying rigorous statistical methods, the research focuses on interpreting and analyzing cell states to determine how genetic interventions drive phenotypic shifts. A key objective is to relate transcriptomic profiles to broader biological contexts, bridging the gap between gene expression and functional outcomes to map the rules governing immune cell behavior.
Program Highlights- Intensive 12-weeks minimum with option to extend, full-time (40 hours per week) paid internship.
- Program start dates are in August/September.
- A stipend, based on location, will be provided to help alleviate costs associated with the internship.
- Ownership of challenging and impactful business-critical projects.
- Work with some of the most talented people in the biotechnology industry.
Who You Are Required Education: - Must be pursuing a Master's Degree (enrolled student).
- Must be pursuing a PhD (enrolled student).
Required Majors: Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, or Bioengineering.
Required Skills: - Analyze High-Dimensional Perturbation Data: Interrogate large-scale genetic screens (e.g., Perturb-seq) to map the landscape of gene function and regulatory networks.
- Apply Statistical Frameworks: Utilize rigorous quantitative approaches to identify robust gene expression programs and relate these transcriptomic patterns to broader spatial or genomic contexts.
- Drive Data-Informed Validation: Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to translate computational findings into actionable experimental targets, helping to prioritize specific hits for follow-up and functional characterization.
Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Qualifications- Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.
- Complements our culture and the standards that guide our daily behavior & decisions: Integrity, Courage, and Passion.
