Are you a hacker and interested in experimenting with computational biology? I work at a mid-sized biotech in Seattle (ZymoGenetics) and I need a summer intern (undergrad) to help me out. You can pick a project and have lots of freedom. Contact me via my about page and I can tell you more.
Yikes... front page.<p>Please be sure to contact me if you are interested (bfox at zgi dot com). Here are the potential projects (vague enough so as to not disclose anything):<p>1. make a nicer interface and better code base for a data viewer I wrote which integrates a bunch of different biological databases.<p>2. Follow through on an ambitious project which involves some stats, validation, and making a nicer web interface to a big database that I have (about 200 million rows).<p>3. Totally new project with AI/machine learning that I know nothing about and need to learn from you.<p>We use linux, mysql, php, perl, python.
You're right down the street from one of the best CS programs in the nation, which also happens to have one of the strongest bioinformatics programs. Have you tried posting this there?<p>Just curious. Contact me, if you'd like, and I can put you in touch with some people.
I'm not interested in the internship, but I have to say that the building and location is seriously cool. Always see it on my way downtown on the bus or to REI :-)
