A non-paid internship is available for a period of six months (extendable by a year), with the Clinician Scientists Laboratory, ACTREC, TMC, Navi Mumbai. This is an exciting opportunity for the successful candidate to apply novel informatic algorithms to unravel mutational signatures underlying a rare cancer type. Selected intern's day-to-day responsibilities include:
1. Integrate multiple data types generated on high throughput OMICS platforms, & interpret the causal role of genetic aberrations driving this cancer. We are hopeful the outcomes of this project will lead to an increased understanding of genetic aberrations and their biological mechanisms underlying carcinogenesis
3. Basic knowledge of any programming database (SQL or NoSQL)
4. Experience in writing GUI wrappers/ Executables on Linux will be an added advantage.
