2026 Summer Intern - Integrative Immunogenomics

Genentech • South San Francisco, CA • 1h ago

The Position

Department Summary

The Human Genetics organization advances discovery and translational science by integrating large-scale genomic data with disease biology to generate insights that inform drug discovery and precision medicine. Our work spans autoimmune disease, inflammation, and oncology, with a strong emphasis on immune-mediated mechanisms and causal inference.

This internship provides doctoral-level trainees with the opportunity to contribute to high-impact, business-critical research at the intersection of human genetics, immunology, and computational biology.

This internship position is located in South San Francisco, on-site.

The Opportunity

As an Integrative Immunogenomics Intern, you will lead a focused research project leveraging whole-genome sequencing data and advanced variant calling outputs to understand how structural variation, somatic variation, and HLA diversity influence immune pathways relevant to disease risk and therapeutic response.

Analyze whole-genome sequencing datasets to characterize structural variants, clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP) events, and HLA class I/II variation in immune-related genes.

Integrate genomic findings with immune pathway and gene-set resources (e.g., Reactome, InnateDB, Open Targets).

Assess associations between genetic features and immune or inflammatory pheno@types across selected disease areas, including autoimmunity and immune-oncology.

Summarize results at the gene- and pathway-level to support ongoing pathobiology mapping and translational research efforts.

Communicate findings through a final written report and oral presentation to cross-functional scientific stakeholders.

Program Highlights

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

Program start dates are in May/June (Summer)

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.
