Interned at the FDA. They take their stuff seriously.
Clinical trials have 3 phases and it all have to be explained via statistic (design of experiment) and reproducible. They have standards for everything to enter the US drug market.
Lots of biostatistics stuff too.
Even when the drug enter the market, pharma companies stop testing the drugs. It is up to the FDA to keep track of side effects and toxicity that were not caught through the phases. (example: ambien sleeping drug)
The people at FDA NCTR are wonderful, highly recommend interning there for a summer.
They have some ML stuff. I've seen a project where they attempt to figure out what bug is in the food. One of the bug was midly toxic and they wanted a image classifier to figure it out via picture of a bug part. You can only have a certain ratio of bug parts in food.
