2026 Summer Intern - Digital and Spatial Pathology, Research Pathology

Genentech • South San Francisco, CA • 2h ago

The Position

Department Summary

The Research Pathology Department is embedded within Genentech's Research and Early Development Organization (gRED) and works to ensure that strategies for the treatment and cure of disease are based on accurate analyses of pathogenetic mechanisms. The department is a key driver in Genentech's Digital and Spatial Pathology efforts, developing cutting-edge tissue technologies to support scientific discovery. This internship is within the Risom lab of the Spatial Omics (SO) group, which specializes in high-dimensional spatial proteomics assay and analytical tool development.

This position is located in South San Francisco, on-site / hybrid (minimum 3 days a week on-site).

The Opportunity

The intern will investigate and deploy computational methods aimed at systematically profiling key histological structures in tissue specimens of the normal lung, lung cancer, and chronic inflammatory disease. The project will focus on leveraging high-dimensional spatial proteomics information (e.g. Lunaphore COMET, Phenocycler, MIBIscope, IMC) to train an H&E inference model to segment important tissue features. Key responsibilities include:

Developing and evaluating computational approaches to classify tissue features in the spatial proteomics data through alternative approaches (ex. nnUNET vs ChannelNET).

Deploying H&E vision transformer models to generate feature vectors of high resolution H&E patches (e.g. DINO-ViT, OmiCLIP).

Evaluating approaches for multi-domain vector alignment and annotation of co-embedded clusters.

Executing H&E inference model training.

Benchmarking performance of alternative approaches using ground truth tissue feature datasets.

Collaborating with upstream bench scientists to identify optimal experimental and computational strategies for improved dataset generation.

Providing regular updates and technical reports to project stakeholders.

Program Highlights

Intensive 12-weeks, full-time (40 hours per week) paid internship.

Program start dates are in May/June 2026.

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.
