Adaptyx Biosciences

“As a Computational Biology intern this summer at Adaptyx, I gained several valuable skills at the intersection of R&D and computational methods. My main tasks involved further development of a codebase and organizing image-based backups of all servers in the company, under the mentorship of Alex Yoshikawa, the co-founder of Adaptyx. What truly excited me about the role was the opportunity to apply my bioinformatics/computational skills to real-world healthcare problems and additionally work with/learn from different sub-teams such as the chemistry and hardware teams. It was a valuable experience to work in an up-and-coming startup environment, as my tasks were very flexible and had several learning opportunities beyond my typical scope of practice. Additionally, I enjoyed the close-knit atmosphere and the constant problem-solving/development of new ideas. Being part of Adaptyx allowed me to collaborate with experts in several fields, fostering a rich learning environment and a truly rewarding experience!”

“I greatly enjoyed working with such an amazing team of people on such a compelling problem. My mentors were patient, generous, and world experts in their fields. They gave me the freedom to propose projects and work on fascinating problems, while providing mentorship to guide my work and projects in useful directions. The team was small enough that everyone's contributions were important. Everyone was extremely capable and focused on achieving a common dream. I also liked getting to geek out about science in a room while still being involved in general company strategies and timelines. I couldn't recommend working here enough!”
