Graduate Students

 We are an interdisciplinary group of bioengineers, chemists, and biologists. The lab is always looking for exceptional candidates with diverse science and engineering backgrounds and would love to work together as a team to adventure at the frontier of rationalized bioengineering and precision health. Please review our Training Philosophy and Values pages prior to your application.

 Postdoctoral Fellows

 We are looking for a high motivated and visionary postdoctoral fellow who is passionate about developing multiscale engineered tools to apply for biological, translationally-relevant research questions. Candidates are expected to have interests and experiences in at least one of the following areas: protein engineering, synthetic biology, nanomedicine, molecular and cell biology, single-cell multi-omics (transcriptomics, proteomics, etc.), animal modeling, medical imaging, systems biology, biochemistry, and optics. Competitive postdoctoral candidates should have a publication track record in any of the above fields.

Undergraduate Students

We are taking highly motivated BU undergraduates as part of our growing research programs. Please review our Training Philosophy and Values pages prior to your application.

Work study students are also encouraged to apply for Research Assistant positions for their gap years of medical or graduate school applications.

Research Assistant (Technicians)

We are looking for a technician with expertise in biochemistry & molecular biology (plasmid construction, cloning, PCR, SDS/PAGE, western blot, RNA interference, gene editing etc.) or cell biology (cell culture, microscopy, stable cell line generation etc). Ones with experiences in vivo murine models (housing, husbandry, genotyping, tissue processing etc) and lab managing are highly preferred.
