Apply machine learning to real drug safety challenges and help scientists make better decisions.

16 Feb 2026

About the role

The role

We are seeking a motivated Bio/Machine Learning intern to join our team working at the interface of biology and data science. This paid internship offers hands-on experience in applying computational, statistical, and machine-learning methods to solve real-world problems in drug discovery and target safety assessment.


As an intern, you will take ownership of a defined project within the platform, shaped around your background and interests, with the support of a multidisciplinary team. 

What you’ll do:

  • Analyse and integrate biological datasets (e.g.clinical data, functional genomics, mechanistic data) to support target safety assessment

  • Develop or extend computational pipelines for processing, validating, and analysing biomedical data for use in Sable platform models and features

  • Apply statistical or machine-learning methods to quantify and prioritise biological risks

  • Interpret results in a biological and translational context, with a focus on supporting drug discovery decision-making

  • Collaborate with software engineers to turn analyses into Sable platform features, used directly by by toxicologists and drug discovery scientists

  • Contribute to a shared codebase alongside scientists and engineers, following good software and data-engineering practices

We are looking for candidates who are eager to learn, can work independently, and have a strong interest in applying computational methods to healthcare challenges.

Requirements

Required qualifications:

  • Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Systems Biology, Data Science, AI/ML or a related field

  • Good Python skills and experience working with biological data

  • Solid understanding of core biological concepts (e.g. genes, pathways, phenotypes)

  • Familiarity with basic statistical or machine-learning concepts

  • Clear communication skills for multidisciplinary collaboration 

  • Ability to work in a collaborative environment

Nice to have:

  • Background or strong interest in drug discovery or toxicology

  • Experience in one or more of the following areas: 

protein-protein interaction data, cheminformatics, protein informatics, human genetics or genomics, biological mechanism data, clinical or toxicology data

  • Experience applying machine learning methods and/or using machine learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow)

Benefits

What we offer:

  • Competitive internship compensation

  • Hybrid working (home + office in Aldgate East)

  • Mentorship from experienced scientists and engineers

  • Opportunity to work on meaningful healthcare challenges

  • Regular feedback and learning opportunities

  • Potential for future full-time employment

Duration: 3-6 months (flexible)
