  Job facts

The position:

During the internship your tasks will include:

·  Performance evaluation of different image registration tools available in our lab on a set of IHC stainings
·  Assessment and implementation of new techniques for image registration of consecutive tissue sections
·  Implementation of a standardized workflow for routine assessment of registration performance, to be integrated in our already in place image analysis processes

As an intern within the Pathology department you will have the chance to interact with a multicultural team of pathologists, clinical and imaging scientists and lab technicians.
