Openings for visiting researchers/students in MIT
We currently have openings for applicants who are interested in doing research in the areas of chemistry, biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, drug delivery, polymer sciences, medical device, and in vivo large animal models. The outstanding candidate(s) assists investigators at the Massachuse
Soft robots possess many attributes which are hard to achieve with conventional rigid-material robots. We are developing ingestible soft robotics technologies, which would enable safer and more biocompatible robots to interact with human gastrointestinal (GI) tissues and adapt physiological environment better than their rigid counterparts. Inspired by octopus, GI-bots would selectively bind on the disease site of tissues through their responsive-arms, detect surrounding disease related biomarkers, and release specific drugs to treat the disease.
We currently have openings for applicants who are interested in doing research in the areas of chemistry, biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, drug delivery, polymer sciences, medical device, and in vivo large animal models. The outstanding candidate(s) assists investigators in the Traverso and Langer Laboratories at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop new biomedical tools for controlled drug delivery.
We favor students who can fulfill 8-12 months commitments for their staying at MIT. Students who are planning for research exchange program, bachelor thesis, and master thesis are encouraged to apply. We are looking for students interested in a challenging, fast paced, intellectual stimulating environment with a background in one of following fields:
1) Chemistry, 2) Material science, 3) Chemical Engineering, 4) Biomedical Engineering, 5) Mechanical Engineering, 6) Electrical Engineering, 7) Pharmaceutical Sciences.
