Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony CelebratesOpening of Cryo-EM Core

Twitter Facebook

On October 18, 2024, a ribbon cutting ceremony marked the grand opening of the Cryo-EM Core. The first cryo-EM core facility on the Medical Campus will enhance the existing cryo-EM capabilities in the department of pharmacology, physiology & biophysics. The facility was partially funded by an NIH Shared Instrumentation Grant to Esther Bullitt, PhD, professor of pharmacology, physiology & biophysics. Expanding electron microscopy facilities and recruiting faculty in structural biology are key priorities for Venetia Zachariou, PhD, chair of the department served as Boston Medical Center’s Director of Endoscopy Services since 2019. 

Huang has dedicated his career to excellence in patient care and education, with a particular interest in endoscopy education. As a member of the Training Committee of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, he taught and codirected several national endoscopy courses and coauthored publications on developing core curricula for endoscopic procedures such as colonoscopy, endoscopic ablative techniques, endoluminal stenting, and endoscopic ultrasound. 

Huang has published numerous review articles and book chapters on inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer screening, and endoscopic and imaging procedures. He is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society and has been recognized as a “Top Doctor” by Boston magazine.
