The Summer @ Roche Intern Program has been developed to provide students with a fun yet rewarding summer through hands-on experience and numerous opportunities to network with other interns as well as employees in the organization. Additionally, we help our students meet their career development and educational goals while potentially building a future with the Roche organization. Leveraging the education you received already, we hope to give you an opportunity to grow and develop with us!

• Study and identify the types of tissue or image artifacts. This will include collecting example annotations of different types of artifacts
• Explore applicability of machine learning/deep learning-based solutions or traditional image analysis techniques in the identification of different types of artifacts
• Explore the applicability of a generic versus assay-specific solution
• Demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed solution on independent sets of whole slide images

Additionally, the selected intern will be asked to participate in various intern activities, which may include workshops with leaders in the organization, our mentor program, and our Poster Symposium among other activities.
