I am seeking a candidate for an internship this summer at Genentech's
South
 San Francisco campus, helping me analyze MRI images of the heart in
mice
 and rats.

 The project I have in mind is to implement and compare some of the
 published methods for semi-automatic feature recognition (delineating
the
 endo- and epi-cardial borders) in short-axis MRI images of the heart,
using
 data from our transgenic mice or rats in novel drug efficacy studies.
A
 good candidate would probably be familiar with MATLAB or image
analysis,
 and perhaps fuzzy logic since that is the basis for several
interesting
 techniques.

 Internships are paid, usually last 6 to 12 weeks, and are described on
our
 web site at http://www.gene.com/Career/internship.html

Interested students should review the web site and contact Simon for
more
information as soon as possible:
