Charles River Campus Centers
MD/PhD students can join the Department of Biomedical Engineering or one of the many laboratories throughout the campus that are run by a faculty with a joint appointment at the medical center. Opportunities include:
- Research in nanotechnology or chemical drug screening through the Chemical Methods Library Design (CMLD) center, a NIH roadmap facility that couples combinatorial chemistry and pharmaceutical research.
- Opportunities in application of photonics research to biomedicine at the Photonics Center, such as work using lasers to detect incipient Alzheimer’s disease.
