Internship 2
Host name: Khanh Dinh
School and Department: Irving Institute for Cancer Dynamics (IICD)
Internship title: Mathematical models for cancer evolution
Number of interns to be hosted: up to 2
Types of support offered:
- Stipend: up to $14,000 over the duration of the internship
- Access to Columbia University campus services, computational resources, and lab meetings
- Mentorship and supervision by faculty and senior lab members
- Immigration and Visa assistance through Columbia’s International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO)
Internship description
The student(s) will develop novel mathematical models for cancer evolution, driven by point mutations and chromosomal instability. They will further implement software packages developed in the lab and elsewhere to analyze genomic data, toward validating the models and inferring biological results.
Skills required
R, mathematical modeling
