What are the responsibilities and job description for the Graduate Research Assistant position at The Tearney Lab?
Primary Investigator: Guillermo J. Tearney, M.D., Ph.D.
Location: Tearney Lab – Wellman Center for Photomedicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital
Job Description/Overview:
We are looking for highly motivated graduate students interested in performing their thesis work in the Tearney Laboratory at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Led by Guillermo (Gary) Tearney, MD, PhD, the lab’s 80 person multidisciplinary team invents, validates and translates novel medical devices that use light to conduct microscopy in living patients. Light is uniquely well suited for noninvasively interrogating the microscopic structure, molecular composition and biomechanical properties of biological tissues. The goal of the laboratory’s research is to improve understanding and diagnosis of disease by imaging the human body at the highest possible level of detail in vivo.
Graduate research studies will focus on the development and clinical application of advanced in vivo microscopy imaging devices, including endoscopic OCT, multimodality OCT, confocal microscopy, capsule endomicroscopy, transnasal endomicroscopy, fluorescence and non-linear microscopy, wireless imaging and diagnostic devices, and related technologies. Clinical applications of these technologies include diagnosis of cancer in the gastrointestinal and pulmonary tracts, diagnosis of diseases in the auditory system, and diagnosis of atherosclerosis in the cardiovascular system. Specific research projects can be tailored to fit the background of the candidate and to meet individual goals, which will provide an opportunity to build clinical, research, and publication experience.
