HackBio Internship 2021
HackBio is a practice-oriented, virtually structured research internship aimed at providing advanced bioinformatics and computational biology skills to African scientists. The ultimate goal of the internship are :-
- African scientists' bioinformatics capabilities should be expanded.
- Increase the number of young African scientists who are connected.
- Boost bioinformatics research in Africa.
- Increase public awareness of biological science and its global ramifications.
#BENEFITS
- They improved their knowledge of a specific bioinformatics method.
- At the very least, have a peer-reviewed publication to show for your internship.
#STAGES
Stages 0-4 are the most difficult and research-intensive stages of the internship. STAGE 0: Eliminating individuals who are brand new to the game and aren't ready to learn on the fly. 3 days of simple activities STAGE 1: Achieve digital collaboration among participants using common technologies; those who are unable to collaborate will be eliminated (4 days). STAGE 2: Individuals are divided into different biostacks according to the subject. Preliminary exercises on programme usage, the Linux environment, and basic language debugging. (1 week; 60 people progress to the next stage) STAGE 3: Reshuffling of individuals into 5 teams and assignment of the 5 projects. All participants who get to this stage will receive a badge of honor. (1 week; 40 persons scale through and enter stage 4) STAGE 4: Submit all results in their raw form, as well as all codes, designs, and the final manuscript draught.
BIOSTACKS
While registering for the internship, each intern is expected to select one BIOSTACK. It can be adjusted till the first stage is finished. They include: ● genomics ● drug development ● vaccine informatics ● medicinal chemistry ● cheminformatics ● data analytics ● software development ● science communication ● publication image design ● bioinformatics frontend/UI/UX
