The position requires familiarity with the US healthcare experience. As an intern, you will be expected to work collaboratively with team members and groups across Biogen. The project will focus on answering epidemiologic questions related to neurodegenerative disease, neuromuscular diseases, and autoimmune diseases.

Under the guidance of an Epidemiology team member, you will conduct research using secondary resources such as literature and/or publicly available data, data visualization, or other topics related to the Biogen Epidemiology mission. A presentation at the end of your term is planned. A publication from the internship may be possible.
