Genentech is a leading biotechnology company that discovers, develops,

significant unmet medical needs.  For more information on Genentech, see
www.gene.com.  Our biostatistics summer interns work for 10-12 weeks under
the supervision of experienced biostatisticians on theoretical or applied
problems with direct relevance to on-going clinical or non-clinical
drug-development research in the areas of oncology, immunology,
ophthalmology, and pulmonology.  The specific topics range from   problems
in genomics and, more generally, translational research to late stage
clinical trials. At the end of his/her internship, each student gives a
department-wide presentation on their research topic.  It is not uncommon
for an intern to summarize their work in a peer-reviewed publication.
