If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
The motivating force of our lab is to make interesting discoveries in a collaborative and cross-disciplinary scientific environment. We value opportuniteis to learn together, support each other, and tackle challenging scientific questions that will impact human disease. We value kindness, infectious curiosity, and work that is highly creative and collaborative.
We cultivate a culture that helps all our lab members learn, grow, and do their best work possible while contributing in meaningful ways to our scientific and medical communities. A diversity of ideas, approaches, and backgrounds is central to doing science with the most impact.
We seek highly motivated students, post-docs, and computational biologists who want to be part of our dynamic team.
Open positions
Who we are looking for
Post-docs
PhD and/or MD scientists in cancer, immunology, glycobiology, or chemical biology. Individuals can bring their own questions or move forward the existing projects in the lab.
Students
Graduate students through Harvard and HST programs, as well as medical students looking for longitudinal research opportunities.
Computational biologists
Computational biologists interested in integrating multi-omic datasets from CRISPR screens, single-cell transcriptomics, and cell surface proteomics to investigate novel hypotheses in cancer immunology and glycobiology, in a highly cross-disciplinary environment, are invited to reach out.
Research associates
Post-baccalaureate scientists looking for two to three years of mentored research experience prior to graduate or medical school. Our lab prioritizes longitudinal mentorship and training for early-career investigators.
Summer scholars & externs
We accept summer students through the Broad Summer Research Program as well as other research internships. Undergraduates interested in a longitudinal research project towards an undergraduate thesis are also encouraged to contact us.
