The challenge:

Electron microscopy is a foundational technology in life sciences. However, interpreting sophisticated microscopic images, for improving quality or gaining insights, still requires significant human expertise. With the rise of multimodal AI models—particularly vision-language models (VLMs) such as CLIP, BLIP, Lora, LLaVA—there is growing potential to automate, accelerate, and improve image understanding using AI.

This internship strives to fine-tuning pre-trained local vision-language models to better understand and interpret microscopy images and explore patterns for autonomous instruments based on generative AI.

Key responsibilities:

• Contribute to innovation by supporting engineers in exploring new technologies
• Stay current with state-of-the-art vision-language models and their application
• Build a proof-of-concept demo or interface showcasing model capabilities in interpreting microscopy images.
• Collaborate with domain experts to collect feedback and guide model improvements.
• Prepare presentations and reports summarizing key learnings, results, and potential impact on microscopy workflows.

Desired qualifications:

• Background in AI and LLM domain
• Result oriented, curious, and hands-on
• Strong sense of ownership
• Eager to learn

At Thermo Fisher Scientific, each one of our 130,000 extraordinary minds has a unique story to tell. Join us and contribute to our singular mission—enabling our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer.
