Research Intern - Translational Molecular Pathology

A research intern position is available in the department of Translational Molecular Pathology. We seek a research intern to develop, implement, and deploy innovative computational pipelines for multimodal pathology data repositories. The research intern will develop cutting edge artificial intelligence (AI) tools in multimodal pathology that spans digital pathology, spatial transcriptomics/proteomics, and language processing. The research intern will be closely mentored by Dr.

Song. The research intern will also collaborate and consult with pathologists and clinicians to address key clinical challenges that will have an impact on our patients.

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center provides the ideal environment for developing, testing, and deploying AI technologies for improved early cancer diagnosis and accurate treatment selection. The Computational Pathology program is a key focus area of the IDSO and supports the IDSO's mission to drive high-impact discovery research by optimizing multidimensional data integration, analysis, and application.

All duties and responsibilities are carried out in compliance with institutional policies, ethical research standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Develop impact-driven AI technologies for pathology

* Develop and maintain computational methods with AI in multimodal pathology.

* Work with a highly interdisciplinary team to generate biologically meaningful results and work towards clinical translation of AI for oncology.

- Keep current and evaluate state-of-the-art methods and tools, establish and help maintain computational infrastructure and analytic pipelines.
