In Silico Internships

What is an In Silico Internship?

An in silico internship is a fully computational research experience. You work on real biological problems using sequence databases, structural files, statistical packages, and bioinformatics pipelines — entirely from a computer. No wet lab, no physical materials, but the same scientific rigour.

What you will do

• Run sequence searches, alignments, and phylogenetic analyses
• Predict and visualise protein structures using AlphaFold, PyMOL, or Chimera
• Perform molecular docking and virtual screening for drug-discovery projects
• Analyse NGS, transcriptomic, or proteomic data using standard pipelines
• Build small Python or R scripts to automate repetitive bioinformatics tasks

Who this is for

Students from bioinformatics, biotechnology, life sciences, computer science, and statistics backgrounds. A working comfort with the command line helps but isn't a hard requirement — we calibrate the project to your starting level.

What you take away

• NTHRYS internship certificate with documented computational project
• A reproducible analysis workflow you can showcase on GitHub
• Hands-on familiarity with industry-standard bioinformatics tools
• A portfolio piece for higher studies or industry applications
