Epigene Labs is looking for a Computational Biologist Intern for a 6-month end-of-studies internship, starting between January and June 2025.

You will work on a project to improve molecular data integration and processing, with the opportunity to develop new pipelines and explore innovative methodologies. This role offers a unique learning experience through close collaboration with computational biologists, data scientists, and data engineers, providing hands-on involvement in cutting-edge projects.
