Reference CodeMRDC-MRICD-2024-00014How to ApplyApplications must be submitted on Zintellect.comDescriptionThe Department of Defense (DOD) is offering a bachelor's level internship at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD).What will I be doing?Vesicants are a class of chemicals that induce injury on contact with exposed skin and mucous membranes. Treatments for these injuries are only generally supportive as no specific treatments exist. In cases of severe acute chemical injury, long term prognosis is often poor and involves interaction of many biological pathways. We are applying artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to accelerate novel therapeutic development by investigating complex relationships between assay results, omics data, and medical images. These AI efforts will be coupled with siRNA high throughput screening (siRNA HTS) to identify therapeutic targets and test targets in animal models developed by our lab. This approach is similar to that used by pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs and treatments for other injuries and diseases. This research involves in vitro, in vivo, and in silico techniques including cell culture, siRNA HTS, multiplexed immunoassays, cell viability assays, robotic liquid handlers, small animal surgery, tissue dissection, immunoassays, small animal ocular exams, data analysis, and machine learning.
