Embedded Machine Learning Internship Jobs in Phelan, CA

Join the forefront of groundbreaking research at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission: Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research.

A Postdoctoral researcher opportunity is available in the laboratory of Dr. Zhen Bouman Chen, a leading expert in the field of vascular biology and diabetes complications and Co-Director of the Cardiovascular Research Center at the Arthur Riggs Diabetes Metabolism Research Institute of City of Hope.

Built upon her interdisciplinary training in medicine, vascular biology, bioengineering, and data science, Dr. Chen leads an active research program focused on epigenetics, RNA and chromatin biology and endothelial stress response. Her team integrates innovative high-throughput sequencing technologies, bioinformatics approaches, and multi-scale models to elucidate RNA-mediated endothelial biology in the context of diabetes. In parallel, the lab emphasizes translational research to identify novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets and to develop innovative strategies that can be advanced toward clinical application. Dr. Chen is passionate about mentorship and peer support and Chairs the Women Leadership Committee of the Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology Council of the American Heart Association.
