[Compbio-allhands] Summer internships at Amgen
by Ryan G. Coleman 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Hi All, One of my past mentors, Alan Cheng, has some openings for a molecular modeling summer internship at Amgen in South San Francisco. Alan is also a UCSF alum (Biophysics 2001). Amgen also has other summer internships, see the attached flyer for more or the description below for Alan's positions. You have to apply online but you can email Alan at chenga(a)amgen.com if you'd like more information. Thanks, -Ryan Therapeutic Discovery Grad (#13069BR) and Undergrad (#13068)Intern: Specific projects designed by our scientists will provide the intern with hands-on drug discovery experience, such as designing and synthesizing novel compounds for potential drug candidates, molecular biology, protein engineering, cell biology, immunology, protein chemistry, chemical database information management, small molecule analytics, developing and applying automation and miniaturization technology and biochemical pharmacological screening of drug targets and candidates. The intern will gain valuable experience using the latest laboratory equipment and tools and a unique insight into the drug discovery environment.
